 🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉


What: Sainte Etienne 0%
Where: Aldi
£££'s: 89p / 500ml bottle
Score: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A visit to the land of cheap alcohol (Aldi) used to be an excuse to fill the trolly with cases of grog, so I think I surprised the checkout staff (I am a regular) as well as myself when I went looking for AF beer instead of Stella. I had never noticed any AF before, but there are a couple.
This AF version of the original Sainte Etienne is identical to its stablemate except the branding is blue (the widely accepted AF livery) instead of the usual red.
The opening aroma is pleasant & poured into a glass the beer has a light golden colour with a lively head, however, this quickly goes to leave what could be mistaken as a flat drink, although there are still tiny bubbles rising if you look closer.
The flavour is that of a typical, premium french lager. All around a very reliable & clean malt flavour with an agreeable bitterness that is very easy to drink.

Would I buy it again? This has become my 'go to' AF drink. Clean, fresh & easygoing in a good size bottle.

    Me too. My go to a.f. beer.
    But just one per day, as I think any a.f. beer has a chance of giving me a headache. Others have reported similar headaches.

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...

Bavaria 0.0% Original

  🎉🎉🎉 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...
