I'd say a 7, it's not the usual hop bomb IPA but more like a supercharged bitter Sparkling Ale. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozdevil Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 This is going to be one out of the Normal beer most of us put up here after having a tasting As i am professional Driver and boy do i love a good beer but sometimes i just cant have a beer due to having to be 0.0 the following day and just some days i just feel like a beer So i am on the journey of trying a few non Alcaholic beers ( well they are not exactly non alcaholic as they do have some alcahol in them) I have just purchase a tasting pack containing 24 cans 2x of different Non Alchaholic beers brewery = Heaps Normal beer = Quiet XPA Abv = less then 0.5% well this was the 1st cab of the rank I love a good xpa in the alchaol variety so i thought this would be a great place to start trying (i have tried carlton zero) Its rather good and refreshing and not very dull as i was expecting for a non alcaholic brew tropical citrus aromas shine through and its not overly bitterly taste but the bitterness is well balanced. as you can see the colourness is still like a xpa . I can see this would be my goto non alcaholic beer when i cant really have a normal beer Not a bad start for a non alcahol beer cheers and beers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pilot mate so I know how you feel. I tried a Carlton Zero once but halfway through it I had to ditch it but that is only me, I also travelled for years on the road so at times the only beer I could sneak was a light until I reached my destination.

Pils Style I guess... I reckon it's not too bad and the price is not too horrendous for what you get... well it was the last time I bought a carton... And a while ago somehow there was a Post-Fathers' Day Spesh on a non-alc version of Becks in my Woolies (suspect nobody bought it and they wanted to get rid of it) and it was v cheap so I grabbed a few and it was not too bad...

The sixers were $7 or so... not as good but I didn't need a carton... just a few to have on hand... mmm... I probably shoulda woulda coulda bought a carton more plonkkkker me as they would store just fine... mmm.... ah well too late... but anyway... I think it might also be worth a go @ozdevil Ozzy...

Classic Brewing Co Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I think my system would reject 0.0 Alcohol Graubster, I would be a bit scared to try it, but I would be curios to see what it tasted like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't let yourself be caught up in too much trepidation @CLASSIC Phil though I do truly understand your concern... but really... it just tastes a bit like.... Megaswill... Beer without any guts But if yer Off the Grogs or Driving it is pretty useful... and I think the Deutschies get it better than most... The Alc Free Weissbier - think it is Paulaner? - from Aldi - at Oktoberfest time - is quite good if yer on the Wagon or Driving : ) And if you need to keep off the juice like @ozdevil Ozzy must for his livelihood and want a drink that tastes something like beer... then some of those above might be worth a taste at least ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a a place for it, I guess we guys who enjoy full bodied beer can't help having a sling off now & again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alc Free Weissbier - think it is Paulaner? - from Aldi ................... I notice a lot of you guys mention Aldi when buying grog, here in SA no Supermarkets sell Alcohol, we just have the normal bottle shops & of course BWS & Liquor Land ( Woolworths & Coles ) sort of semi attached next door, it's silly really as they may as well put it all in one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Dee Why for a few years and used to like visiting their little bar in Manly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Coopers Australian IPA Fruity citrus fresh aroma Nice bitterness that lingers. Pine and malt flavourful beer. I'll be happy if the ROTM turns out like this. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally concur @Hilltop hops Coopers Stout to me is the best but I thought you would have made your own I did & I know you would too but seriously I cannot tell the difference in mine to their commercial stout, maybe a bit smoother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
