This is made for the backpacking and mountaineering set in mind. Now for the product review. I also waited for the large floating blobs to dissolve. Slightly sweet, sour and effervescent. Fun and pleasant.
Aroma is that of licorice, no hops, no malt.
Taste is thin, sour with some lemon notes. Not at all beer-like. Same appearance as NA version. Alcohol present in nose with licorice. Flavor is flat, the alcohol predominates over the sour, lemon flavor.
