0.565 l can as a gift. I had this one before joining RateBeer, therefore this entry is based on numerical notes only.

Can shared at home, courtesy of Tomi. Pours a semi-clear, lighter copper with an off-white head. Nose is malty, herbal and earthy. Taste is moderately bitter, herbal and earthy with a grassy touch. Bitterish finish, light body and soft to average carbonation. Nothing to write home about, but lacks any major flaws too.

Can at home from Jumbo. Poured hard, so the head is spectacular, foamy, and it lasts quite long. Nose is dark malts, light roast, sweet wort. Taste is astrigent, roasty, but also got that worty sweetness going on that lasts well into the finish and ruining drinkability a tad. The body is light, very light, leaning towards watery, and the carbonation is virtually non-existent, so obviously it drinks pretty easy. Not the best dark NA I've had, but I'm not that big of a fan of the classic Draught either, so there's that. All in all it's decent stuff and I'm pretty happy to see the NA offering become more and more wide tbh.
