| Verdict | A nonalcoholic Bavarian wheat beer: spicy malt, caramel sweetness, and the banana-clove signature. | A bright, easygoing nonalcoholic Mexican-style lager built around lime-accented citrus and delicate cereal malt, with gentle sweetness, restrained bitterness… | A pleasant, approachable nonalcoholic wheat beer with fresh wheat, bready grain, and restrained lemon zest over a soft, gently sweet finish. |

| Likeness | — | Recognizably a Mexican-style lime lager — citrus over cereal malt with restrained bitterness — in a light, delicate frame. | Recognizably beer-like, with familiar wheat, grain, and lightly spiced characteristics. The bready malt character gives it credibility as a wheat beer, although its restrained flavor intensity and slightly sweet finish limit its complexity. |
