330 ml green bottle, as "Cobra Extra Smooth Alcohol Free Premium Beer", courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Crystal clear pale golden colour, decent head. Sweetish typical n/a lager aroma: maize (corn) and boiled vegetables. The flavour is sweetish with minimal hops, pretty bad, but the beer is not completely undrinkable when ice cold.

0.66L bottle. Version made in poland. Small head that dissapears quite quickly. Aroma almost non existent with just a touch of hop. beautifull clear light golden colour. carbonation too strong, almost like a fizzy drink, which makes it a bit difficult to drink. quite bitter with a bit of corn sweetness in the background. faint after taste. Overall it seems that the double filteration (as stated on the bottle) has taken all life from this brew.

Bottle in an Indian restaurant in Wheathampstead, Herts. Deep golden colour with a slight white head. Carbonation was moderate. Sweet corn aroma with some very tired hops. Flavour was of sweet malt with and a hint of a bitter finish. Not bad as an accompaniment to a curry.

Bottle at home ... Crisp golden yellow ... Mellow fruity slightly belgian hop nose ... nice crisp clean but more a mellow belgian triple than a lager ... and from my tasting much better than the 24th percentile its currently sitting at.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a white small but bubbly head. There was some fruit and hops in the taste but overall it seriously lacks in all departments.

Picked this up in Tesco, Aylesbury. Well what can I say other than it has turned an already iffy lager into an iffier lager with added strange fruitiness. There may be 100% natural fruit extracts in this as the blurb states but it still came across as having an artificial taste and aroma, you could taste the blood orange but it didn’t really enhance or improve anything at all. Sort of came across as being something marketed at those kids who are gradually being weaned off of alcopops and whilst they want something a little more mainstream this would fit the bill temporarily. Not my thing, and yet there are three other fruity flavours apparently.

Pale golden beer with a big whitish head. Mineral, slight grass aroma. Some earthiness, fruitiness, sweet malt flavor, but little depth. Very carbonated. A bit of spice lingers. Spritzy.

Sold in a pint bottle under the name Krait from Browar Belgia, an import of Cobra. I believe this beer may deserve its own rating, apart from Cobra. What I sampled was substantially different from most of the other ratings. Root beer aroma. Pour is cloudy, golden, with a nice head and fabulous lacing . Flavor is well balanced honey and cereals, with the perfect amount of hops in the finish. Very clean and flavorful. Not heavy. Sheer delight.

75 cL bottle. That sweet corn aroma typical of lagers, plus an underlying Belgian candy with yeast. Hazy deep gold color with a fizzy white head that quickly left. It starts with some yeast, firm mouthfeel, a hint of grassy corn, the really noticeable alcohol causes a warming sensation. The finish is much finer than a typical lager, but the bitter is not that strong. There are spicy notes, but no particular thing to pin down. I am guessing that the Rodenbach experience has added quite a few interesting aspects to what might have started as something like a malt liquor. It develops more interesting impressions as it warms. Malt liquor I usually put down the sink. This I will drink.
