San Miguel 0.0

🎉🎉🎉 Robs AF Brews Reviews 🎉🎉🎉

What: San Miguel 0.0
Where: Ocado
£££'s: £3.50 / 4 x 330ml bottles
Score: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

My village store sold some real moody versions of the regular San Mig (proper nasty 5.4% tackle), so in my drinking days, this was obviously a weekend favourite. Even normal San Miguel was considered a bit of a luxury as it was (in my untraveled eyes) exotic, being almost the national drink of Spain. HOWEVER it's only now that I am sober, despite the countless litres of the stuff that I have poured down my neck, that I have actually bothered to learn a little about it, & it's quite interesting! Fun Fact - San Miguel actually originated in Manilla, Philippines being first brewed there in 1890. It wasn't till 1957 that this most Spanish of Spanish drinks was first brewed in......Spain - Amazing what you can learn If you take time to find out!

So what about this 0.0% version - What's it like? Well as I have found with these AF copies of a popular brand, don't expect it to taste just the same as the poisonous version, because it doesn't. Again not a bad thing particularly. The taste is dry, a little malty with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Importantly for me, it doesn't have the sweetness that some of these AF beers can have which can leave them tasting a bit like a shandy. No such problems here.

Would I buy it again? A very important question for this brew, as 2 of 3 pubs in the village where I live sell this (and only this as an AF option I have found out), so chances are I will come across this if I'm out having a beer and I'll be (relatively) happy to do so. It wouldn't be my first choice to buy to drink at home if some of my other favourites are available.

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...
