There are some where there is no difference or where it tastes like a slightly different beer but not thin. I have tried over 100 different non-alc beers and Helles and IPLs tend to get pretty good non-alcoholic variants. However I recommend staying away from Bitburger, Paulaner, Clausthaler, Bayreuther and Oettinger. Basically most of the most available large brands have the worst non-alcoholic beers.
Never had a decent NA helles, but Athletic does have some IPAs that aren’t awful. Lagers though always taste way too malty, at least all the ones I’ve tried.
Not on my new phone, no. They’ve got just a website, you can just link that. I’m sincerely interested if you know NA lagers that actually taste like the beer they’re trying to be.
Here you go. Got 66 different non-alc beers rated and nearly 400 alcoholic beers rated. And you can see when I stopped drinking alcohol in my timeline (around March 2023).
I second that the taste difference is pretty big, at least for most I’ve tried.
I’ll third that, I would never confuse any of the German NA lagers I’ve tried with the real thing.
