Some thoughts on NA beer types

My experience is that the hint of a yeasty taste of a non-alcoholic beer is very hard to hide.

Another thing that is very hard to fake is the fact that beer, even a weak lager, is thicker than an NA.

HOWEVER

Certain beer types are better and come closer to beer than others.

**IPA, NEIPA, and EIPA** all have enough hops in the taste to hide the yeasty taste. So those three are definitely my Besides the thickness you almost can't tell you are drinking a NA... and those beer types are already prety thin viscosity wise, to begin with, so the difference is negligent.

**Porter, Stout and Bock** do also hide the yeasty taste. These are thick beers, so they just feel weird.

**Lager and Witbier** does an okay job. I have never tasted an NA beer that tasted precisely like a regular one of the same brand, like I have with the IPA group, but they are usually pretty okay.

**Pilsner and Weissbier** just stay away. I have yet to taste a pilsner or a weissbier that didn't clearly taste like an NA. Tasted okay, but not like beer. And if I'm drinking something that doesn't taste like beer, I would rather drink soda, mocktail, or even juice.

Again, in almost every group, there are outliers that are really bad or really good. These are just my thoughts on the types and where, on average, to find the beast NA.
