If you’re hunting for a nonalcoholic beer that stands out, Birra Analcolica by Finkbrau might not be your ticket to flavor town.
Packaging
Right off the bat, the German aesthetic of the can is cool and eye-catching. Unfortunately, it seems the beer’s charm peaks with its packaging.
Look
Upon pouring, the beer’s head dissipates faster than your hopes for a flavorful experience. It leaves a flat surface that sets the stage for what’s to come.
Smell
Or rather, what doesn’t come. There’s a conspicuous lack of aroma, leaving your nose wondering if it’s caught a whiff of nothing at all.
Mouthfeel
The carbonation is decent, giving it a fair feel for a Euro lager. But good bubbles alone won’t save this one.
Taste
As for the flavor, it’s a dull affair: no hops, a hint of malt, and a weirdly synthetic caramel sweetness that vaguely resembles slightly sweetened tea. An unwelcome aftertaste lingers long after your sip.
Final Verdict
In short, this Euro lager veers into euro trash territory. Save your money and leave it on the shelf—you won’t be missing much if it never leaves Germany.
