Borran's Beer Review: Brooklyn Special Effects

Hello!
Today, I'm reviewing a low-alcohol (0.4%) lager called Special Effects from the Brooklyn brewery located in Brooklyn, New York. Malts in this beer: Munich and Caramel malt. Hops: Mosaic, Citra and Amarillo hops.
When breweries make Non-Alcoholic Beer, they usually remove the alcohol after fermentation, but Brooklyn have instead used a lazy yeast and malts that doesn’t produce much alcohol.

Description of the beer:
"Hoppy lager-style non-alcoholic brew with an unexpected citrusy aroma and pleasantly bitter finish."

Appearance: clear brown/dark amber color with a small white head.
Smell: sweet caramel, citrus hops.
Mouthfeel: light body, medium carbonation.
Taste: malty, sweet, citrus, tropical fruits with a light bitter finish.

Verdict: I must say, this is the best low-alcohol/non-alcoholic beer I've ever had. Lots of flavors and not so watery as they usually are. Of course, alcohol-free beers will never be as good as beers with alcohol but they have done a very good job with this one.
My rating: 3.5 out of 5. Well done Brooklyn Brewery! I will probably buy this beer again!
