Drank from my Stella tulip.

A - Pours clear Ornage Amber colour witha large off White head that retains OK.

S - Very molassis aromas with a little metalicness. Quite sweet with a little grain.

T - Up front not much the finish is metalic before a sticky overpowering sweetness destroys the flavour.

M - Light to medium body with minimal carbonation.

O - Not the best LA beer around. Sweetness needs better management.

Although @lacqueredmouse seems determined to blame me for serving him this beer, I would like to point out that it was purchased and given to me as a Christmas present by him.

Pours a dull orange-tinged brown colour. Slight cloud in it with decent head when poured. Sinks to a thin film with decent sticky lace. Looks quite good but not sure I like that colour.

Smells very grainy, and not much else. Wheat husks with offensive honey, corn and rice notes as well. It's too sweet, to the point of having a decomposing touch. Under the circumstances, I'm pleasantly surprised that it smells like genuine grain, but no, not a good nose.

Taste is quite bland and again, offensively sweet. Has a slight bitterness on the front, kind of forced carbonation flavour, that takes on a honey-oat kind of flavour on the mid-palate, a touch of corn and then a bland, bready yeast note on the back. Pretty poort beer, no doubt, but under the circumstances it's quite good actually. There's a surprisingly clean finish but ultimately it leaves me fairly unhappy.

Body is decently full as well, especially for <0.4% ABV; a bit of fizz which is not great though.

I wouldn't drink this beer again, but if for some strange reason I desired an 'alcohol-free' beer, like I was desperate for something resembling beer... this might fit the bill. But then, there's Chinotto, and Sanbitter, or just straight lime juice, they're all nice bitter drinks that can suit this purpose.

Served to me blind by @LaitueGonflable. Interesting to note that I didn't pick that it was alcohol-free, but I did pick that there was something troubling about it.

Pours a very cloudy deep orange colour, with a filmy head of fine bubbles, and a collection of larger ones around the rim. Minimal suds or lacing. Looks interesting.

Very odd fruit/vegetable aroma on the nose. Slight tomato sweetness, and a bit of overripe papaya. A bit of dusty yeast character, and a floury dryness. Interesting, and quite unusual. Not necessarily something I like though.

Taste is very dry and a little bready. Minimal character on the back, just a slight bite of spice. Very little else, and it tastes empty and bland, almost bordering on offensive, because what little character it does have is just unpleasant.

Not a beer for me. Very empty, bland and eventually unpleasant.

A turbid orange beer with a big head.

Smell is like grainy wort, sweet and strong notes of wheat. Almost a little nutty. Also some notes of banana.

Taste is not too bad for a non-alcohol beer. It is sweet, but considering the style, this isn't syrupy or too full-bodied. The normal yeast character is still intact, with notes of banana and clove. I could drink this more often if beer with alcohol wasn't nicer.

Served at The Bull & Castle Pub, Dublin, Ireland.

A- Poured into a stein with a massive billowing white head, with some fantastic sticky lacing. The body was a nice highly-carbonated medium amber color.

S- Nice banana and clove aromas, some wheaty malt, a bit crackerlike; no distinct hops. I also got some faint impressions of treacle and cooked vegetable on the nose. The cooked vegetable is a bit of a turn-off.

T- On the palate, a lot of that cooked vegetable really comes through. You end up with that flavor of a German wheat beer, but it is dominated by the flavor of cooked lentils. No hop profile there at all. The finish itself is unimpressive, an echo of that wheaty-cooked vegetable.

M- Nice medium body. Abundant amounts of non-bloating coarse carbonation. Much more body than expected from a non-alcoholic beer.

D- The cooked vegetable was such a turn-off that I didn't finish the glass. This killed the drinkability for me.
