Flavour is sweet caramel, rye bread, hints of herbal and earthy hops. Not too sweet, not too creamy, drinkable, soft texture, light body, moderate carbonation. Dry finish. Old school traditional style.

A can shared with Brnja and the boys from the stag party at the train station in Limerick. Soft to moderate hoppy aroma, herbal, softly earthy and grainy. Herbal flavour, floral, sweet and bready. Light to medium body, drinkable.

0,44 l can. Pours very dark brown with ruby red hue. Head is tan, but much smaller than normal Guinness Draught. It also settles almost immediately unlike alcohol version. Apart from smaller head both look almost identical. Aroma is very light, a bit of toasty malt, chocolate and coffee. Very light aroma. Taste is low sweet and low bitter. Body is watery. Flavor is similar to regular Draught, just watered down, but unfortunately is has additional unpleasant flavor tat is really hard to pin down. Finish is short, regular Draught has a bit of additional bitterness that 0 ABV doesn't. It's like a watered down version of regular Draught which doesn't pack much taste to begin with. All nice and well, but that additional unpleasant flavor puts me off. Otherwise it would be reasonably drinkable.

0,44 can. The can looks simple but not bad, and neither does the beer. It's called a Blonde, but it's an average amber color, very clean, filtered. Huge dirty white head, which collapses into a chimney, egg foam consistency, but remains. Smell of hops, peachy, clean, sophisticated IPA aroma. Weak carbonation, little body, bitterness is medium or slightly weaker. Citrus, lime, orange peel side flavors. It was delicious, a simple IPA, not cheap, but it went to one...

Egyszerű de nem rossz a kinézete a doboznak, és nem mellesleg a sörnek sem. Blonde-nak nevezett, de átlagos borostyán színű, nagyon tiszta, szűrt. Hatalmas piszkos fehér hab, ami kémény, tojás hab állagúra esik össze, de megmarad. Illata Komlós, barackos, tiszta, kifinomult Ipa aroma. Gyenge szénsav, kevéske test, a keserűség közepes, vagy annál picit gyengébb. Citrusos, lime-os, narancshéjas mellék ízek. Finom volt, egy egyszerű IPA , nem olcsó, de egynek elment...

Aroma is doughy, grassy. Pours clear golden with a one finger bleach white head with good retention. Taste has a light bready malt sweetness backed by mild hop bitterness.

Neat, this is barely different from regular Guinness and easily the best NA beer I've ever had. Looks like draught Guinness with the black color and tan creamy head. Taste feels like it leans a little more chocolate than regular Guinness, probably something in the malt profile that comes through a little differently. Somewhat milder, lighter in palate, but here's where the nitro actually helps (and I hate the basic nitro concept for beer) to keep the creamy palate so its not watery.

Malty, crisp, light. Finishes a hair bitter. It’s fine.
