***Best before May 2024, but still tastes great*** A superior alcohol free ale, less than 0.5%ABV, dark brown in colour with mahogany highlights and a lingering tight ecru head. The nose is malt forward and the beer is dry and satisfying. The dry malty character is an excellent complement to spicy food. The bottle label is based on an advertising poster used by Samuel Smiths in the 1950s. Alcohol Free Beers are made just like the alcoholic ones with water, yeast, hops and barley. Some are brewed to a lower ABV and some have the alcohol removed through various techniques. Across Europe beers below 0.5% ABV are classed as alcohol free. In the UK drinks that are between 0.05% and 0.5% ABV are classed as non-alcoholic. How is this low sugar and what about the carbs ? As defined by governmental guidelines ow sugar means the drink contains less than 2.5g of sugar per 100mls. Products with a higher sugar content cause a spike in insulin and we react by storing more carbs as fat. You may also notice that although lower in sugar there is some carbs, this is usually more complex forms of sugar such as starches and fibre and the body uses these for energy. How is this product Vegan Friendly? The drink is free from any animal products or derivatives. In addition the bottle, label and glue is also free from animal products.

Really enjoy this, and the best thing about it is you really can't tell it's low alcohol.

I've always been a fan on Samuel Smith (their pubs are fantastic, as are their beers) so to see an alcohol free version from them made me very happy! This has the same level of flavour and attention to detail that I'd expect from Sam Smiths, down to the label and neck of the bottle and the contents within, delicious. Very well held body for this brown ale with an effervescence that dances delicately around the tongue, imparting all of that brewing expertise around the mouth. Great that I can still support this independent brewery too!
