Zero, Low Alcohol

Bitburger Premium Pils 0%

Pilsner

Yes, zero alcohol, taste equivalent to a number of the mass-produced Lion/Carlton beers (ho-hum) but ideal for hot sunny days when you’re the designated driver

Sep 18-Mar 19

Breheny Bros Maltx Non-Alcoholic 0.5%

Ale

Similar taste to others of this genre, healthy malt level, mild tar, honey, walnut, chocolate, cantaloupe. Struggled to find the fruit, but this doesn’t mean it is an unpleasant brew

Tasted Apr-May 2023

Carlton Zero 0%

Lager

Tastes very similar to a Carlton Draught. Not my preference but a great choice if it has to be zero alcohol

Jul-Dec 2020

Devilbend Farm I Can’t Believe It’s Not Lager Non-Alcoholic 0.5%

Lager

Crisp like a lager, strong malt flavour and hoppy. As good as any non-alcoholic beer out there

Tasted Nov 23-Apr 24

Guinness Draught Non-alcoholic 0.0 0%

Stout

Same 440ml can with widget as the original. Practically similar taste to the original too. Just missing the alcohol hit, and hence the sessional appeal, but an excellent alternative when a zero choice is needed

Tasted May-Dec 2024

Heaps Normal Quiet XPA <0.5%

XPA

Excellent zero alcohol drop. Tropical fruit, touch of malt, mid-bitterness. Full beer flavour - clever

Tasted Jan-Feb 2022

Heineken 0.0 Beer

Lager

Quite similar to an alcoholic Heineken, a reasonable lager that stands on its own despite it also being zero alcohol. Mighty fine achievement

Tasted Nov 19-Jun 20

Molly Rose Radler Lime & Jalapeño Lager 2.8%

Lager

Lime upfront, ginger and a spicy heat that lingers at the back. Clean and fresh and an excellent light beer alternative.

Jul-Aug 2022

Molly Rose Radler Very Mandarin Lager 2.8%

Lager

The warning on the side of the can gives a clue ‘Contains mandarin’. That’s about it for this lager, although it’s refreshing and a good summer outdoors option

Jul-Aug 2022

Pirate Life Point Nine Ale 0.9%

Ale

Very low alcohol, low-mid bitterness, lemon, un-ripe peach, but, overall, not quite satisfying. Taste is very similar to Athletic Brewing’s Run Wild 0.5% IPA. Prefer Heineken 0.0 or Carlton Zero, although different styles, to these.

Oct-Dec 2021

Pirate Life Point Nine Ale 0.9%

Ale

A low alcohol beverage that just misses the mark. Dry, wheaty, not much body, hot ginger, bitterness out of balance. Reviewed previously and am a bit more sympathetic to it this time
