Clear amber colour with quickly fizzed out head. It's a bit like shandy. Has some honey and biscuity malt notes. Very sweet.
Dagtripje Abu Dhabi. Lunch falafel sandwich met alcoholvrij bier. Van een brouwerij uit Dubai (!) Smaakt beter dan verwacht.

Aroma: Sweet malt with cheesy notes.
Flavour: Malty sweet with cheese and sugae and a watery sweet finish.
Colour: Light amber with a fading head.
Golden with a white head - Sweet malt wort aroma - Malt with a sweet wort flavour - Sweet wort goes into the finish - This was ok
Bottle from Kourosh in Tolworth. Dark orange with zero head. So watery, cardboard, malt, veg, this is awful and I don't think I'll be able to finish it.
My Country No.155. Special thanks to mr Marek. Jak na piwo z Emitatow w dodatku bezalkoholowe i jeszcze na dodatek slodowe to nie jest tragicznie ale i rownoczesnie szalu nie ma. Piana jest spora bardzo trwala, spore tez nagazowanie, slod nie nachalny nie zawiera w moim odczuciu jakis sztucznych dodatkow czy zamiennikow, chmielnosc tylko na podniebieniu troche sie ciagne, Grunt ze nie jest mdle, przeslodowane i z wyczuwalna nutka chmielu.

33 cl bottle. The bottle says "Barbican Malt Flavour" which I'm guessing is the same as this one. Dark almost "orange" color with no head. The aroma is unlike any other beer (non-alcoholic or not) I've ever had. There might be a slight hint of some actual malt in there, but it's mostly just something sweet and this strange sour fermented smell. Not really unpleasant, just very strange. Taste... Very smilar to the aroma. Fresh arrival that's quickly followed by that slightly sweet and fermented stuff. There's basically no bitterness whatsoever, but there's instead a flavor I would describe as "tea" that lingers in my mouth afterwards. I'm trying to find something in here that actually somewhat resembles beer, but I'm honestly struggling. It's drinkable, but I wouldn't call it "beer" in any shape or form (it does say "malt beverage" on the bottle). Oh, and the warmer it gets, the worse it gets...
Bottle 0,33 ltr: Clear dark golden coloured maltbrew with somehow sweet bitterless taste, it's have some beery moments. Much better than it's European counterparts. Bought at De Bazaar, Beverwijk. And it's an new country tick..
Country Tick #102, Darker golden bit amber, no head. Aroma is wort, smelly feet. Taste is wort, some light tartness next to the sweetness, i'd prefer the flavoured ones as they taste like something... chemical fruit for sure but its better than this honestly.
Bottle.
Well could have been worse, could have been better. Certainly not bad for an Arab country
Flasa z Orientalnych potravin Bratislava. Vona takmer ziadna. Medova farba. Chut nevyrazna slaba vodova. Hned zmizne.
33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Dubai. Bottled 10.11.2019, BBE 09.11.2020
Aroma has very sweet malt and cardboard typical to non-alco beers. Flavour has sweet malt, cardboard, minerals and vichy. Also some plastic. Not the worst non-alco lager out there but nothing special either.
Goes down ok with some apple shisha in Riyadh. We'll say it's atmospheric. Pours golden with ok head. Crisp and plain aroma. Says it's made in Dammam on bottle.
Bottle: Cereals, sourly, citrus, apples. Really bad.
Bottle, ty marduk. Pours golden. Aroma and flavor are sweat, water, malt, dirty. Overall: horror!
Bottle from an International grocer in Limerick "enjoyed" in the hotel in Dublin. Mostly clear light gold in color with a small short lived head. Strange fermented garbage aroma as I pop the cork and pour into glass. Kind of sweet and sugary bubbly. Nice to try for the country tick but that's about it.
330ml bottle. Clear golden color. Small size, off-white head, stays. Sweet, sugary, malty, boiled carrots in aroma/taste. Nope.
330ml bottle. Pours clear deep golden colour, almost no head. Aroma is malty, sweet, toffee, caramelly, wet cardboard. Taste is malty, sweet, caramelly, watery. Very watery finish with some toffee. Light body, low carbonation. Poor
330ml bottle found by accident in a massive food retail complex south of Moscow. Pours clear brownish gold with a thin white head. Aroma is cereals, sweet malt. Taste is sweet, syrup sweet malt, cooked vegetables. I liked it. Have had worse N/As.
Shared bottle @ Salón piva in Bratislava (2nd day). Country #91.
F: big, white, not long lasting.
C: gold, clear.
A: wort, grainy, watery.
T: bit sweet grainy, wort, weak bitterness, light body and medium carbonation, hard to rate this but ok for new country tick at least.
Bottle into schooner glass. From corner shop in Riverwood. Golden pour with bubbly head which disappears. Smells like corn flakes. Spritzy with a plastic sweet taste and finish. Late sourness. Pretty horrible but would quench your thirst on a hot day.
Bottle. Malty aroma and taste, sugar, light to medium sweet, light bitter. Meh, water with artifical malt and hops flavour.
Bottle. Weird wort-ish aroma and flavour, sugary, caramelly, sticky. High carbonation, thinish body. Overall quite weird in an unpleasant way.
Country #118. Pours golden color, white head. Aroma of malt, pretty bad. Taste is sweet, malty, watery, boring, bad.
33cl bottle. Pours clear dark amber with off white head. Aroma is strictly molasses. Taste follows with heavy melasses and sugar, no real hop flavor. Curiosity killed the cat.
330ml bottle. Clear, dark amber colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Sweet-ish. bready, grainy malty aroma, hints of dark bread, baked apple. Taste is sweet-ish grainy and fruity, hints of red apple, baked appe, bread crust; watery texture.
Gold body with thin head. Faint malt aroma. Faint flavour. No finish. Was served with Moroccan lamb. The lamb was better. Not worth repeating
