“Heineken and Becks Zero.”
The alcoholic versions taste shoot, so presume no change there?

I cannot drink alcohol due the my gastric reflux tendancy.I'm giving up alcohol for October, so have bought some Low Alcohol beers to try. I've been pleasantly surprised at how good these are compared to what was available a few years ago.
My thoughts:
Heineken and Becks Zero. Not much taste difference from the real thing as far as I can tell.
Punk Nanny State. Very hoppy which I like, not sure, but I think it does have some sort of weird aftertaste.
Coast Hazy IPA I bought this online. Quite impressed. My son works in a craft beer pub, so I have been getting quite into this type of beer.
Erdinger alkoholfrei. I first started drinking this type of beer in Austria when Skiing as a lunchtime drink. I think it is one of the nicest LA beers I have had.
So Cyclechatters what do you think? Are these a good substitute for the real thing? Do you have any recommendations? Any other suggestions for non alcoholic drinks?
True.In general, I am a great fan of no/low-alcohol beer. Some of it is pretty grim but most of it is reasonable-to-good. Above all, it is virtually the only cold sparkling drink apart from water which is not laden with sugar or some laboratory-made sugar substitute. Compared to the colas and the fizzy fruits, all of them are good. The drink of choice when sporting or driving.

Do people actually drink beer for the taste? Beer makes you drunk, otherwise what's the point? Myself, I'm a cider drinker. I certainly woudn't bother with alcohol free cider if I had to keep away from alcohol for some reason. It's a bit like like caffeine free cola or coffee -you drink it for the effect, or to get you going in the morning, not for the taste, you might as well drink water. (Takes cover).I’m just having a ghost ship 0.5
Won’t have again, not much taste and a funny smell
YesDo people actually drink beer for the taste?
Anyone remember Kaliber, enough to put you off alcohol free for life?
