r/NABEER

Review:

The Busch NA tasted like beer. I got hints of beer on the nose, and on the palate, beer. The finish tasted of beer. Overall it was a very beer beer, and would’ve been improved only if the weather was hotter.

Purchased & drank in Duluth, MN. I’m sure available absolutely everywhere.

Seriously tho. This doesn’t have any right to taste this perfectly, acceptably like cheap light beer. I stood in front of the cooler at the store & read reviews, waffled… I have literally never bought Busch of any kind before lol.

I nearly pulled the trigger on Coors Edge instead bc I like Coors & hate Busch, probably will try it sometime. Balked at the cost of Athletic (this was 2x the beer for same cost). I drank 2/3 of the case while listening to live folk, rock & Americana music & watching fireworks 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I actually tried the Athletic Lite Lime & Salt today, I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was more like lime seltzer with the idea of beer in the background than beer flavored with lime tbh. Refreshing in a sort of way but honestly didn’t taste much like beer. I’ll have to try some of their other flavors.

Cheers 🍻

After trying a lot of craft brews I thought I would sample some of the legacy NA offerings. Not a fan of this one.

Holy moly I just drank one fine and this second one smelled like puke. I just thought it was the combination of food I ate and a retro nasal. I hope I don't wake up puking.... Gotta check my other cans... Hopefully just this one

I feel betrayed...

Just noticed this in the NASCAR race tonight.

Apopro for the day. Freaking heatwave abounds, these crush quick.

My take: https://clangoring.substack.com/p/saturday-sip-no-11-best-day-brewings

Not today, motherfu***r. Not today. Day 8, no booze.

These beers are great, btw.

Never tried this before and picked it up on a whim. To me it’s just tremendous, it has that real beer flavor, nice and crisp. I’ll definitely be buying more of this.

Has anyone else tried this before?

Generally very light and hoppy, but with a distinctly soapy chemical flavor that was quite off-putting. Glad I tried it but I wouldn’t order it again. 3.5/10

This is my brew for the weekend,

Picked these up for Independence Day weekend

Pabst - $10.98

Chouffe - $13.47

Heineken Nectarine - $10.49

I did a direct taste test comparison between the Pabst and a Busch I had in the fridge having both cans together. My preference falls toward the Pabst as smoother front to back and price is cheaper. Came across the Chouffe and decided to give it a try as heard good things about it but have not tried it yet.

The Heiny was unusual as if it was a blind taste test I don't think I would have named it as Heineken. The nectarine comes thru and it's light tasting overall. I'm glad I sampled it but not sure it's a repeat buy for me, a far as flavored beers Clausthaler Grapefruit still rules in my book.

One of my favorite NA beers. Very refreshing and clean tasting, 9/10.

Prep for the 4th about to begin! Grilling chicken legs, chicken thighs, 4 racks of ribs, skirt steak, hot dogs. Wild American keeping me company.

Heard people rave about Deschutes Black Butte Porter on here all the time…so grabbed a 6 pack (and then two more) when I was on vacation in VA. I have to say ALL the hype is warranted. This Porter is for real! Slight coffee and chocolate notes and not quite as thick as a Stout. They really nailed the mouthfeel. Sadly, can’t find it anywhere in North Jersey…so I’m savoring the last one.

I'll be hanging with my partner trying to stay cool with these, IMO, refreshing choices.

Feel free and share what you got ready to go for the 4th.

Not horrible, but not really a West Coast IPA, IMO. It probably didn't help that the bottling date was 5 mounts ago.
