Delhaize Perfect Match NA Rood Vlees

Aroma of any typical non-alcoholic pale lager imitation: wet cotton, rubber, popcorn, sweetish grains, papier maché, cold pasta, wet grass, highly industrial white bread, dried camomile flowers from the Tettnanger, raw sweet turnip. Weirdly sweet onset, refined white sugar almost, neutral in terms of esteriness, medium carb with some minerally effects, slick mouthfeel but admittedly feeling a little bit 'fuller' than its 0.3% ABV content would suggest; sweet graininess everywhere, sweeter even than the average non-alcoholic blonde, with a popcorn- and aspartame-like 'emptiness' to it yet countered by a somewhat out of place hoppy bitterishness in the finish, grassy and simple but adding some lingering, leafy bitterness - even if that aspartame- and popcorn-like, rubbery artificial sweetishness survives beyond that.
