Buckler's Non-Alcoholic Beer, and #Homebrew Yoda Update

 This Buckler's Non-Alcoholic import from Holland has managed to capture Hieniken's skunk, without very much of the ethanol at all.  The nose, head and color are like the green monster of beers, and the forward taste was good.  The after taste, was basically that flat, non alcoholic trailing one gets with the entire class of these beers.  

My next project after Cider season is going to be non-alcoholic beer, with a major hop addition after the extraction phase, which purges the ethanol and flattens the beer for bottle conditioning, or CO2.  Not to play fantasy beer football, but I'd love to see this class over beverages turn into a kind of highly nutritious, low cal, "hop soda-ish" kind of thing for we hop heads among you.  Frankly, I'm kind of surprised craft dudes are not up at night scheming to bring something along these lines to markup.

At any rate, this is a good beer for Chili, which is what I was eating, in effect....  (more like tomato pepper soup with a lot of red pepper added for heat).  Last of after taste (flavor) makes for a nice neutral wash of hot chilis from the spoon.
