500ml bottle in a Lidl 12 bottle pack: BB 26th March 2025. Drank at home on 20th November 2024. Clean and clear amber body, wispy off-white head. Caramel sweet throughout, and seemed rather watery for an O'Fest Bier.

Golden with abundant, white foam that falls quickly. Malty with bread notes. You can also find caramel, grain, biscuits. Low carbonation, slightly oily texture.

Gold with a white head of modest duration. Very little aroma—a mix of dough and stale grains. Taste is faint, faint metallic bitter on an extremely watery palate. Empty, watery finish. Jeez, just because it’s alcohol free doesn’t mean it has to taste like water. At least the off-notes stay subdued.

Bottle from the Lidl fest box. It pours clear deep amber with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is hearty malt, earthy, brown bread, toasted nut, ryvita, touch of spice touch of fruitiness, pear and melon. The taste is crispy, dry, earthy, woody, bitter - sweet, plenty of spice, green banana, ripe melon, ryvita, leather and a touch for tannin with an earthy and drying finale. Average body and moderate carbonation. A bit too earthy perhaps. I wish it was more drinkable.

Bottle from Lidl. Appearance - golden and clear with gentle carbonation and a foamy slightly off-white head. Nose - burnt toffee or caramel, light metallic. Taste - more of the same. Palate - quite sweet, maybe missing hop bitterness. Overall - ok.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with a dense and creamy, off-white head. Lovely malt aroma with a hint of crystal malts. Solid malty body with notes as above. Subdued bitterness. Just straight and well made. 221024
