Had one last week- tastes very similar to the real thing for about two thirds, the final third got very watery and sour.

Had a couple of cans of the 0.0% ones over the weekend and was very impressed. Takes the edge off if you're off the drink. You'd only want 2 of them max as well whereas with normal cans you'd end up having 5 or 6 of them and having a head on you the next day

Taste very similar to the normal stuff

Had 4 cans ofof the 0.0 at the weekend as was driving and couldn't really taste difference. Stopped off on way home from match last night and had a couple from tap and definitely can't really tell the difference and they were very nice.

Will be my go to non-alcoholic for now on as with Guinness it's not only about the alcohol but the taste and the look and feel of it going down. Whereas the likes of erlinger just tease ya and don't even taste as nice as real thing

Is it less calories? Because if its basically the same I'd probably rather drinkwater or coke zero if I was off the alcohol

I had a piny of 0.0 Guinness before the match.  Maybe it was a bad pint but it tasted rotten

But if it tastes the same as the alcohol version why wouldn’t you have one? Do you drink alcohol just to get a buzz or because it tastes nice?

Does anybody really drink alcohol for the taste? I certainly dont anyway.

Most of the calories in Beers comes from the Alcohol, that's what the 6-7% craft beers have more calories than the 4.2% draft lagers. Most non-Alcoholic beers I drink (330ml bottles) would be about 50 cals

85 cals on a 500ml can, so roughly half the cals of normal  Guinness.

Plus 1. Crave a beer or stout and it's not just for the alcohol.
