I like it,really refreshing drink,far better than the Thai brewed muck that is passed off as beer

4th Line did it for me.

[Daffy D]

A big glass full of ice, a teaspoon of salt and filled with Coca-Cola.

 

Try it  

[nikmar]

maybe if a little vodka was added.

Maybe that's what is used

I often drink Heineken, I was in a bar last year sometime and ordered another Heineken, as I handed her my empty bottle when the new one arrived I realised that the previous beer was a Heineken 0. I hadn't ordered a '0', she gave me the wrong beer, the only reason I noticed was because I glimpsed the label as I handed the empty back....

 

That's how much like Heineken it tastes, you would never know if you didn't know.

So you don't drink it for the taste then? Some of us actually like the taste of beer and drink it because we enjoy it, not to get drunk, so not containing alcohol is certainly not a deal breaker for us.

Sounds the same as decaffeinated coffee.  Which makes no sense to me.

[Susco]

Tried it once a few weeks ago, was in a bottle not a can, and was actually pleasantly surprised by the taste.

 

Didn't know it could be sold now during the alcohol ban.

 

Going by some replies in this thread, and other threads with alcohol as subject, I suspect quite a few members are currently testing aftershave coke

Are you in a drinking club then.

Again, I like the taste of coffee but as I get older BPH is becoming an issue. I have found that cutting down on caffeine (drinking decaf coffee), has greatly reduced night time visits to the toilet. Must admit though, I tried decaf tea and found it pretty bad as the taste is quite different to standard tea.

No not really, of course it shouldn't taste like cats pee (not that I've knowingly tasted that) I drink it mainly to get the effects of the alcohol it should taste good too but that is secondary, sometimes a little effect is enough  sometimes a bit too much effect is achieved ????...if there is no alcohol then as said before I wouldn't waste good money on it just for "the taste"

No, just go out once or twice a week (pre-covid) to the local. Sometimes drink alcohol free, sometimes the standard stuff (Heineken, Corona, Tiger, Erdinger, Oettinger etc.). Don't drink Chang or Leo though as I don't really like it. I have both types in my fridge but drink very little at home. Maybe 1 or 2 cans a week.

I went through a phase where I was drinking Asahi Zero without realising that it was alcohol free

 

Tasted great, only found out it didn't have alcohol when I took some to a mates birthday party & one of the guys asked if I was driving.

 

When I was working in Karachi, you could only get alcohol in the hotel if it was delivered to your room & you signed a waiver to say it was for medicinal purposes.... Tried it once & the beer (yes they have local breweries in Pakistan) was so bad that I never bothered again, however found some alcohol free stuff (IIRC Bavarian something or other) in the hotel shop & it was much better. 

 

Quite like the Heineken 0.0 stuff, tastes better than the "Real" Heineken to me 

 

[norfolkandchance]

Slightly of Topic. 
Efes non alcoholic beer produced by Turkey is the bIggest beer exporter to Saudi Arabia.

They say it took 40 years to get it right. It took Bae System guys 4 weeks to reverse the process.

[jimn]

You had it half right. It smells like cats p*ss and tastes like cats p*ss. Why on earth anyone would drink it is beyond me. If it has no alcohol you might as well drink a soft drink or water and save your money.

Yeah, why drink beer for the taste. 

Maybe only alkies think this way.

It tastes ok but getting tipsy makes it better

[Muzzique]

Non Alcoholic beer? That's like orgasm free sex. What's the point in that?
