Reviewing FLVR: Robust Flavors in Non-Alcoholic Beers
FLVR Non-alcoholic beers are, in my opinion, some of the best non-alcoholic beers on the market right now. What really sets these apart are the robust flavors and a pleasant mouthfeel and body.
Too often, I find non-alcoholic beers to be thin, watery, and having minimal flavor profiles reminiscent of a generic light beer. FLVR differentiates itself by offering a variety of flavors that are both hop-forward or malt-forward. The flavors are clean and exactly as advertised.
It is nice for an evening when you want to hang out with friends and not end up with a headache the next day, or a perfect way to finish off the evening after you have already had a few.
My Perceptions
Chela Con Limon Mexican-Style Light Brew with Lime
This one hits the mark for freshness. It’s full of light lemon notes and a cracker-like malt backbone. Refreshing and delicious.
Chocolate Dark Brew (💖 Favorite)
This is where FLVR really shows off its range. It features a rich chocolate malt with a medium body,a rarity in NA beers. You get light toasted notes and low hops, finishing with a rich dark chocolate aftertaste and a light crisp note. The mouthfeel and body are really nice for an NA beer.
Italian-Style Pils
There is a distinct spicy hop aroma here, paired with light cracker malt and white bread notes. It has a moderate-to-high spicy hop flavor with a generous body for an NA. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a herbal, spicy noble hop character in the aftertaste.
West Coast IPA
This one is very fruity and juice-like. While I enjoyed the vibrancy, I personally appreciated the other beers in the lineup more for their malt complexity compared to these juicy notes.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been disappointed by watery NA beers in the past, FLVR is definitely worth a try. Whether you want something light and citrusy or a dark, chocolatey brew with real body, they have a solid option that doesn’t compromise on the drinking experience.
