O'Doul's is a non-alcoholic beer from Anheuser Busch. For the most part non-alcoholic beer is normal beer heated to 180 degrees fahrenheit to evaporate the alcohol out of the beer. The heating has a tendency to lose a lot of hop flavors.
This beer has a metallic aroma with a hint of hops. The color is straw and very clear with only a few bubbles coming from the bottom. The head starts thick, but quickly fizzes away to only just covering the top of the glass.
This beer is bitter and taste like a lager. There is a bit of malt sweetness almost honey. The only sign of hops it a bitter taste, strong enough to make my mouth water. There is also a metallic slightly skunky taste, common is beer from a green glass. The mouthfeel is water thin with plenty of carbonation. The finish is bitter, but it passes quick enough.
This tastes like a cheap lager. The lack of alcohol taste is noticeable, but it is not what is hurting this beer overall. I think this could be passed off as a cheap beer without any trouble.
