BrewDog Nanny State (0.5%)
And this time it is all about the beer, and the beer is awesome! Gone are the 200+ IBUs which brought grown men to tears! Our new Nanny State is 0.5% ABV and focuses on being a great drink as opposed to a great publicity ploy. This beer is now focussed on getting all that is good about BrewDog into a practically alcohol free format. It is a West Coast inspired pale ale with a difference!
The beer has 45 IBUS and is brewed with centennial, amarillo, columbus, cascade and simcoe and intensively dry-hopped with centennial and amarillo. The backbone is provided by 8 different types of speciality malts with only 87 kilos of malt used in a 20HL batch (our Punk IPA uses 450 kilos in 20HL).

Copper, clear, tan head and lacing. Aroma of bitter marmalade and caramel. Dry, bitter, juniper and spruce. Light malt body, but good for a light beer.
All'olfatto era intigrante avevo delle buone prestese ma assaggiandolo ho cambiato subito idea, era di un amaro molto strano e disgustoso, l'ho finita con fatica
Smaker mye bitter øl
The colour is amber/cooper and it looks like tea. The aroma is not intensive, tea-like with some hoppy and caramel notes. When it comes to the taste, the beer is a little bit sweet with moderate bitterness; there’s too much caramel and too little hops. Kind of old-fashioned or badly stored in the shop…
Légèrement ambrée, petite mousse blanche. Nez houblonné doux moyen, note caramel. Gout houblonné vert et doux avec du malté pain et blé, corps assez aqueux et sec, mais pas trop mal pour une low alcohol.
12 oz can poured, ordered from BrewDog USA. A darker copper pour, moderate, fading foam head. Aroma is a mix of citrus like hops and bready malts. A pretty big aroma compared to other NA brews in my experience. A much more mild flavor, some biscuit like malts. Bold, lingering, almost spicy malt finish. For of an amber or even a brown in my opinion, but a solid NA brew either way. Enjoyed this.
Fles 33cl thuis. Malten, bitter, red ale neiging, rood fruit, hoppig, rogge, citrus, grapefruit, mango. Alcohol merkbaar afwezig. Niet verkeerd. (12-3-2021).
Copper/amber color. Starts a touch harsh, and is lacking in body like most NAs, but is crisp an actually quite tasty. Like a super hoppy old school brown, or a malty pale. Grain and grapefruit/pine. 3.4-3.5, and one of the more enjoyable NAs I've had to date.
BrewDog Nanny State 0.5%. Dark red, citrusy, grapefruit aroma, light bodied, barley malt, citrus, grapefruit, biscuit. Pleasant alcohol free IPA from Ellon, Aberdeenshire 🏴
Bottle 0,33 ltr: Clear amber coloured brew with an dry bitter taste with hints of tangy citrus fruits. The ultimate solution to make alcohol free beer delicious.
Can - 355ml. Carbonated, slightly hazy, copper body with an average, slowly fading, off-white foamy head. Fair malty aroma with sweet, leather, and hoppy hints. Its fair malty/hoppy taste carries wet wood, leather, and grainy notes. Ends with a short bitter/woody finish. Weird.
Flasche bei Craftbeer-Shop bestellt. Farbe dunkles klares rot braun. 1 cm dicker Schaum, leicht beige. Aroma: Fruchtig, Erdbeere, ein bisschen Maracuja, Grapefruit. Geschmack: etwas wässrig im Ansatz.. Muffig. Etwas Spülmittel. Malz. Karamell. Ansatz von Bitterkeit.
Bottle. Light amber pour. Aroma of grapefruit, creamy orange, caramel, citrus and malt. Taste has creamy grapefruit, bitter orange, citrus, malt and some pine. Good bitter beer, there's still an underlying emptiness that betrays it's lack of alcohol, but this comes really close.
The fact that it is alcohol free is well hidden...
Quite bitter... And I would love to have some more dry hops.

De loin la meilleure bière sans alcool que j' ai pu boire !!!
Best wel veel smeken te ontdekken. Lekker fruitig en bitter. Er zijn veel slechtere alcoholarme bieren.
Very very bitter flavor that dominates everything else. The flavors did not connect with me. I need to stay away from no alcohol beers!
Nicht das beste alkoholfreie allerdings auch nicht das Schlechteste. Ich ziehe aber lieber andere alkoholfreie Bier vor
Dégustée le 2020-10-26. .
Taste: crisp super airy, slight bright hops, caramel malts, semi artificial or airy taste. slight bread, nutty nose. Amber/copper hue, semi clear, whit head some lace. Medium light body. Gentle dry finish, subtle hopped, a boating beer. Non Alcoholic style with a bit more taste.
Smell- weak malt, weak roast.
Foam- thin, roast, faint acidic notes, bitterness, and sourness. Head is white with a slight brown tint.
Appearance -brewer bottle cap, simple label. Clear orange, brown color, weak carbonation.
From- snifter
Taste -weak malt, roast, sourness and acidic mess, overly bitter aftertaste mixed with faint non-alco notes. Bad.
Bottle. Clear, surprisingly dark. Off-white head.
Aroma is hay, freshly cut grass. Very dry and very bitter. Mildly sour. Very watery. Low carbonation.
Not great, not even for a low-alcohol beer.
330ml bottle. Pours clear amber brown with an off white head. Aroma: toffee malts & pine. Taste: heavy malty, metallic hints, super bitter throughout. Thin body. Pretty nasty tbh
Amber colored, small white head. Aromas of citrus, malt and slight pine. Taste of citrus and malt. Thin.
A high bitterness low alcohol hoppy ale. Pine notes, citrus and grapefruit. Enjoyable.
Donker oranje, aardige kraag welke plakt, aroma van scherpe citrusschil en licht kruidig. Smaak is wat mat, geen punchy smaak; eigenlijk weinig smaak.
Une rousse limite sans mousse qui persiste. Arômes simple de maïs. Des saveurs minérales, de fer ou quelque chose qui ressemble à une amertume, qui s'acoquine d'une âcreté légère toutefois dominante. Toujours cette impression métallique sur la langue. (3030-270220)
Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Can looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, huge head. Fine hoppy-sweetish aroma. Starts mild, fine hoppy notes, some bready notes as well. A bit moldy. Finish mild-malty, some metallical hints. Not bad at all.
Aroma : Some toasted sweet toffee malt, but overridingly a sour lemon citrus & pine. Taste : Considering low amount of malt in the brew, it has a strong albeit short malty start. Finish is also short; dry with a citric bitterness & a slight metallic twang. Watery body. Not great but also not terrible for a low/no alcohol beer
