Becks Blue

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 & simply, no. One of the 3 pubs in the village I live in has this as there only AF option & I have asked them to change it. Get something nice in as a sensible option for those who want a beer, but don't want that headache that comes with it!

Birra Moretti Zero

  🎉🎉🎉 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: Bavaria 0.0% Original Where: Ocado £££'s: £4 / 8 x 330ml cans Score: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Following the last review of the excellent Bavaria Wit is this Original brew from the Swinkels family. Brewed using a 'secret' brewing method, this Pilsner is a rich golden colour with a flavorsome German & Czech brews. There is a definite malty aroma & taste with a slight sweetness, although not as sweet as its compatriot, Heineken 0.0% Would I buy it again? Yes I would. This is a good, clean & crisp version of a Pilsner & for £4 I could quite happily turn up at a BBQ with a pack of these. #robsreviews

Brewdog Nanny State

  🎉🎉🎉 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...
