Kriek Boon Mc

Year not displayed, but it’s way too fresh! It’s just cherry juice, and there’s no complexity whatsoever. Tinges of marzipan, and very soft minerals, but no funk or sourness whatsoever. As a Summer refresher it’s bloody lovely… but it’s not a lambic!

Just the One - Zappa Mc

Huge flavours to this, but a little confusing! Fresh pine dominates, but there’s a weird mint leaf taste piggybacking along. Huge bitter hop spice in the finish, yet there’s something slightly tropical trying (but failing) to soften it. I think I like it!

Specular Mc

Watered down passionfruit & mango, with a touch of lime & orange jam. The booze is a little harsh against such light flavours.To be honest this is probably the most tasteless TIPA I've ever supped. I'm very confused by the massively high scores on here!

Passion Pool Non Alc Shallow Mc

This is absolutely exceptional. A nonalcoholic version that's arguably better than the boozy original. More passionfruit, more salt, more digestive biscuit malt depth & a more intense longer lingering sourness. Fantastic body. Incredibly refreshing.

Passion Pool Mc

Not as complex as the San Diego version. This is all passionfruit, a touch of peach purée & a hint of something else tropical that I can't quite put my finger on. All tartness seems to come from the zing of the passionfruit rather than a souring process.

Space Race Mc

Hopped up pale. Sweet tropical fruits, a tinge of minerals and a touch of herbal oils upfront. Soft lemon pith and pineapple appear later, but fade as the herbal oils dominate the finish in both taste and mouthfeel.

Henry Gose Lightly Mc

Upfront it's juicy pear flesh, a tinge of salted lime, and hints of tinned peaches with a gummy fruit candy edge. The finish is sea salt and coriander, with a lingering sour citrus. Lovely balance to this. Mikkeller's nonalcoholic brews never disappoint!

Drink'in The Sun (0.3%) Mc

Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N°5 Mc

750ml. Batch #03501. Moderately acidic upfront, with heavy oak tannins behind. Very soft funk, with a tinge of green apple, lemon & grapefruit. Very dry. A little thin, due to a huge carbonation. Probably needs a little more age, but tasty as it is.

Limbo - Riesling Mc

If there’s a better brewer of nonalcoholic beers than Mikkeller, I’m yet to find them! Another absolute belter in the Limbo series. Juicy sweet grapes, with hints of tinned peaches. Spritzy fizz & a lovely sour finish, that cuts through the sweetness.

4.5

Racing Beer Mc

That tinned peaches & tinned oranges taste that is standard from Mikkeller alcohol free beers upfront. A hoppy lemon edge to this one. Verges on being too sweet initially, but a soft sourness to the finish ensures the sweetness is kept in check.

Limbo Yuzu Mc

Always love the limbo series & this is no exception. That distinctive tinned peach & tinned orange taste the Mikkeller Flemish primitive yeast imparts across the series, with a sharp tart hit of yuzu, before a soft yet lingering sour finish. Refreshing!

Limbo Raspberry Mc

Love these Limbo beers & this one’s becoming a bit of a regular nonalcoholic (0.3% ABV) tipple for me. Sweet & tart raspberries, offset by that classic Mikkeler funk, that gives a big hit of tinned peaches & a complex, yet delicately soft sourness.
