What's the least horrible tasting *canned* non-alcoholic beer?

[eShirl]

Because this Old Milwaukee NA tastes like the leftover milk from a bowl of Super Sugar Crisp.

Ima hafta brush my teeth by the time I finish the can

1. Old Milwaukee NA.

No, that's my answer. It's a sparse field and the question is rather like asking "So, what's your favorite way of being tortured and killed?"

There are really no good answers. Ironically, the best tasting closest flavor I've ever found to beer is actually Malta Goya soda. It's has a bit of a molasses note to it but other than that it's pretty beery. (It's also rather high cal. It is, after-all, malt soda.)

2. That's a trick question. They're ALL horrible. (n/t)

3. Frankly, the Old Millwater is probably the best. The expensive ones are the worst.

Seriously, it seems like the more expensive they are the "fruitier" they are - not at all beer-like. American makes a pretty good one (if you can find it) and Busch isn't bad. O'Douls sucks.

4. Here's the reason Old Milwaukee tastes the best

It's the only one that's actually brewed. They brew it like regular beer, then remove the alcohol after. All the rest of the NA beers are really just malted beverages. That's why they taste sweet. Chill the Old Milwaukee enough and it tastes pretty close to real beer.
