I've recently taken up testing non-alcoholic beers and I have to admit that there are winners and losers among them. Which group does Okocim non-alcoholic belong to?
The non-alcoholic Okocim Jasne beer already belongs to the Carlsberg concern, which absorbed the Okocim brewery, with a tradition dating back to 1845, and destroyed it. I can say that with confidence.
As the producer claims, Okocim 0.0% is a beer that is brewed according to a carefully developed recipe. I dare to have doubts whether there is any recipe there, because this thing does not resemble beer.
The beer has hops and a distinct flavor that I don't detect at all. I do detect acidity, as if someone had added water from pickled cucumbers to this. Something awful.
The beer has a golden color, and that's true, and as the manufacturer claims, "it smells so good you want to drink it." My olfactory impressions are completely different. After opening the bottle, the smell reminded me of opening a can of paint.
The ingredients are water, barley malt, carbon dioxide, flavors, hops, hop extract. And in my opinion there are extracts and chemistry!

Luckily I always have some tried and tested beers up my sleeve, so it wasn't a tragedy.
