14/10/2021. Can from 10 Beer Bottles, Wivenhoe. Pours clear bright gold with a short lasting white head. Aroma of light tropical fruit, citrus, malt, grass. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Very light and watery, with average carbonation. Pretty decent as no alcohol beers go, but very thin.

440ml can on a super hot Summer's Sunday evening with Soph and Elliot, relaxing in Fly's field. Pours unclear dark brown, foamy beige head. Aroma presents nutty ryebread, roasted malt, continuing to taste. Fine malty bitter brown ale, no AF off-flavours, presented well with a light malt sweetness coming into view.

Pours clear, dark caramelly brown. Big white head collapses relatively fast. Fine soapy structure. Scent is slightly roasted, coffee, toffee, caramel notes. Faded chocolate, even. Taste is medium intense to intense ( which is a lot for a NA) . Roasty, almost a tad ashy trough it's dryness. Mild sweetness. Very nice to have a dark NA thats actually good !

Pours clear blonde, with a huge white head. Scent is fairly mild. Some malts (bread) . Mild hops (green matter, mostly) slight fruity note ( tropical /citrus ) but thats very mild. Taste is surprisingly bitter ( these days bitterness always seems to go quite low) . Fullbodied, especially for the style. Very maltforward (bread) . Hoparoma is still quite mild, doesn't go beyond 'notes of'. Nice beer for it's bitterness and body in a NA, but I had hoped for more (way more) hoparoma to realy seal the deal.

Pours clear blonde, medium sized white head. Scent is malty, tad DMS, tad corn like-sweetness. Not the best, but not awefull. Taste is dusty maltyness, mild DMS, veyr mild bitterness. Not great again. Feels a bit aged , though the BBD is one year from now. Very forgeteable, and below average NA.
