S.Y.C. Brewing Co. Phantom Buzz Pale Ale – Non-Alcoholic Beer at 0.5% ABV (C$3.50 at Safeway Liquor D’Arcy Crossing, 473 ml, packaged on 17-Dec-2024, acquired 30-Mar-2025, reviewed 30-Mar-2025)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, grainy malt, hint of dank resin. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry finish. (3/5)
It’s not blowing me away, but it’s fine – which is to say, it’s pretty good for a non-alcoholic, and it would be fine as “just a beer”. I’ve had better NA’s, but I’ve had worse beers, so yeah – it’s fine. (13/20)
