chestnut brown / amber with a smooth beige head.
mild malty aroma with a peculiar almost berry fruity hoppy note, reminds me of the aroma i've found in beers claiming to be "old ale" style. quite fruity. Nice enough though.
Flavor is bitter hoppy, fruity bitter hoppy, malty, roasted malty. palate is thick, a bit like a mix between ESB , stout and something wih berryish fruity notes.

This is one of the better no alcohol beers. The elements of Old Peculier are still there, the fruity aroma with a bit of banana is still there and the flavour is not bad either. Its not the real thing but for no alcohol its pretty good.
