Ian is impressed with the label, "it looks and sounds like a strong German beer," he says, but he feels let down by its "wishy-washy taste". Steve disagrees. "It says 'drive' on the bottle - the Germans don't mess about," he says. "It's got a nice dry flavour considering there's no alcohol, 9/10" says Steve. Craig agrees. "It's a good-looking label only slightly let down by the large banner shouting '0,0%'. It's a slightly darker beer, easy-going and enjoyable. It's a pilsner-style beer so has quite a dry finish but I can imagine these going down well in the summer, sufficiently chilled. 8/10 overall for me".
