drynks smashed lager. #afbeer 131

I must say that I didn't agree with this company's choice of advertising technique at the end of last year and probably if I didn't get this in a mixed case I would have stayed away from thier beers for that reason.  

But let's see what this beer is like. 

First up I shall start with the bottle.  This is the 1st time I have seen a 660ml bottle in an alcohol free beer.  


It pours with a nice Amber colour and frothy head.   Looks like any other lager out there.   Can clearly see a bit of carbonation in it too. 

On the nose it has a bit of a sweet fruity aroma too it.   The taste you get a sweet hoppy flavour. Then a bit of a bitter Finish. 

I'm not really a big lager drinker but as lagers go I quite enjoyed this one.   I did find it a little gassy for what I like and probably would only buy in smaller bottles in future.  

Overall I would give this 6/10.

An Alcohol Free Exploration of Cardiff Pubs.

Image
On Saturday 19th June Me and a group of other Alcohol Free Beer drinkers took part in a trip around a few Cardiff pubs to see what Alcohol free beers were on offer.   Brewdog I started the evening off before meeting the main group at Brewdog Cardiff meeting up with Jonny Stevens founder of the BetterWithout App, and his partner Dean once he had finished navigating the streets of Cardiff and managed to find somewhere to Park his car.   Was great to finally meet up with Jonny after speaking to him online for a while.   As this was a last minute decision to meet up here we did not book a table the pub was full inside but managed to find one outside on the pavement.  The ordering process was straight forward although Jonny could not get the app working on his phone.  Once ordered the drinks came out nice and quickly. We enjoyed a pint of their Punk AF on draught. (£4.64 a pint)  This beer from the tap is very tropical and smooth.  It has a...

Guinness 0.0 Draught vs Big Drop Good Things Irish Stout

Image
  When Guinness had to recall their stout back at the end of 2020 Big Drop came out with an Irish stout of their own Good things .  At the time I said this was a very good stout and up there with the best alcohol free Stouts but how does it compare to the relaunched Guinness 0.0 . See my original Good things Review First off this is just a bit of fun.  I obviously can't get a new can of the Good things stout as it is no longer made and the one I am using to is very close to its Best before so may no longer be the stout it originally was. The Pour. Due to the nitro the Guinness pours with a Lovely surge effect and forms a lovely creamy looking head.   The Good things pours quite flat looking with a small head that disappears  very quickly.  Using my surge plate I could replicate the head although even then it dispersed quickly. Winner: Guinness 0.0 Aroma The Guinness has a nice roasted aroma with slight coffee notes. The Aroma on the Good things has a m...
