Heineken 0.0

330ml can in Quebec, under "Heineken - Bière sans alcohol". Clean golden, with some nice tiny bubble carbonation and a creamy head that lasts a while, leaving some creamy lacing. The nose is pretty malty and sweet with notes of honey over the grains. Refreshing, crisp mouthfeel. The taste shows the same as the nose, but at least the sweetness is cut short. This is actually a real nice, drinkable no-alcohol beer that does not seem like one. Well-done.

330 ml green bottle, from Helgø Meny Maxi, Sandnes. Crystal clear pale golden colour, moderate white head. The aroma has first some fresh and typical Heineken notes of lightstruck hops, before the more usual n/a beer features of cooked vegetables and baby porridge take over, but not as extreme as in some other n/a beers. Thin mouthfeel as expected. The flavour is fairly dry with some hops, and the beer is not undrinkable, okay with a meal.

I wonder why Heieneken needs both Buckler and 0.0 as low alcohol beers? Another clear gold pour, head is white, and vanishes into thin air. Aroma is very similar to Heineken, maybe even better because there are no icky adjunct aromas in this one. Flavour is that of a watered down golden lager.

The beer pours a metallic gold, plenty of effervescence, and a huge frothy white head which quickly disappears. The aroma is grainy malt, yeast, and weak herbal hops. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is weak grains and a peppery finish. For a non-alcoholic beer, this is quite drinkable.
