O’douls Amber looks and tastes like a craft beer to me. It’s .5 ABV. Definitely does not have that watered down taste typical of NA beers.

It’s probably just the quality of these particular bricks. Bricks are available in different grades.

A masonry company can grind out the mortar and replace them with similar looking bricks but you can usually tell there has been a repair.

Is the house built from used brick and are the spalling bricks an orange color?
