(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 12 June 2025) Pale golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with grass, citrus, floral hops and wheat crackers. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, lemon peel, grass and a balanced citric/floral bitterness. Medium body, dry. Refreshing and highly drinkable. Quite nice.

500ml bottle from a local Morrisons, drank in my back garden on 16th July 2025. Clean and clear golden body, lasting white crown on top. Nice blend of malts and hops, really easy on the pallet and most enjoyable.

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.
