Sober AF Reviews

  🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉 What: Birra Moretti Zero Where: Ocado £££'s: £3.50 / 3 x 330ml bottles Score: 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 I have been seeing the regular version of this brew popping up an increasing amount over the last couple of years in some of the more successful boozers locally to me. With its seductive Italian flair & attractive pint chalice, Birra Moretti has burst onto the scene with a distinctive flavour to match its premium allure. I'm pleased to say that this allure has transferred across to the Azzurro version of this beer very well. This Alcohol Free version is very similar to the more common Moretti. The pour is a lovely clear, light golden colour which leaves a good head that disappears quickly. Theres a slight lemony scent that comes from the glass which also comes out in the flavour. The mouthfeel is nice and smooth with good body & a very rounded taste with the lemon & maltiness with a slightly bitter finish. All in all, a nice & tasty lage...

  🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉 What: Brewdog Nanny State Where: Ocado £££'s: £4.50 / 4 x 330ml cans Score: 🌟 Hot on the heels of my review for Brewdogs 'Lost AF' lager is my taste test & opinions of another of the 'Dogs AF offerings, 'Nanny State'. This time the packaging is very similar to that of Lost AF, except this time green is the differentiating colour, along with the silver & black writing. The pour for this self-professed Hoppy Ale is a much darker, almost chestnut coloured liquid which gives a good foamy head. As you take your first sip you get a sweet smell of the malt and strong pine aromas (maybe that's where the green branding idea comes from?). The beer itself is quite gassy & the pine scent continues through to the flavour & combines with the hops & leaves a very bitter & dry taste. Although there is a lot of flavour which stays in the mouth, much like the Brewdog AF lager it feels there is something missing fr...

I ordered this pack of FreeDamm from Ocado with the weekly shop, just as I have done with many other Alcohol Free beers during my early sobriety journey. There were just a couple of things that struck me about these that I wanted to highlight before the main review & taste test. The first thing to note that screams at you is the packaging - forget the attractive-looking cans for a minute, but gone is the wildlife destroying plastic 6-pack ring in place of this oh-so-simple, 100% biodegradable cardboard retainer. It just works!!! Brilliant. I know there is a growing movement to rid ourselves of plastic packaging & the plastic can ring is a well-documented example of the harm that can happen to wildlife & their habitats. (Did you know the plastic can ring has been around since the 1960's). The Alcohol-Free market seems to be ahead of the rest of the drinks industry in being more environmentally friendly, & this is the first time I have seen this simple but effective c...

  🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉 What: Stella Artois Alcohol Free Where: Ocado £££'s: £3.50 / 4 x 330ml bottles Score: 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 Is it 'ah' or is it 'Artois'? - That is the tagline that sticks in my mind when I think about Stella, along with a rather unsavoury nickname which the high-end advertising campaign is desperately trying to rid the brand of. No matter how many artistic TV adverts & associations with clean-cut tennis competitions (Wimbledon no less) Stella is always going to have a dodgy reputation in the UK for being a bit of a bar brawl inducing beverage. This is probably, in part due to the high ABV of 5.2% this beer used to carry. This has now been reduced to 4.8% No such problems here with the AF version. If AB In-Bev (the parent company) really wanted to clean up its reputation, then maybe they should concentrate more on promoting this AF variant which is made for people who want a beer for beers sake & aren't looking for a punch-up a...

These lovely beverages just arrived with the Ocado delivery. . Looking forward to trying them all to be honest. Have been a big fan of Brewdog & there values - just a shame much of it is based around a liquid that does so much damage. Lets hope there AF versions live up to the hype! . Someone told me that Freedam is the best AF beer  @leemackcomedian  has tried, & I think the guy is a legend anyway, so keen to try this one! . Full fat Peroni was the draught beer at a restaurant I used to work the bar at. As such I have drunk more than my fair share of the stuff. Will be interesting to see how this fares. One positive already is that I won't end up spending a night in the cells after drinking the AF version! . Reviews in full to follow.............

  🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉 What: Becks Blue Where: Ocado £££'s: £3.30 / 6 x 275ml bottles Score: 🌟🌟 Becks Blue was an early adopter of the AF beers in the UK & as such is available in pub fridges up & down the country. In fact, it still accounts for 1/3rd of alcohol-free beers sold in the UK. Being a German beer, brewed in Bremen it is made under the famous German purity laws, meaning it can only contain hops, malt, barley & water. To make this alcohol free it is first brewed & then goes through a process to gently remove the alcohol. Although widespread in the UK, I really can't understand why? I've never been a fan of 'Becks' beer. I find both the aroma & taste as if something is a little past its best, & this AF version is no different. Purity law or not, this flavour just doesn't sit well with me & personally I feel there are much better places to spend you hard earnt than on this!. Would I buy it again? Plain & s...
