6 pack of cans, best before 7/12/26, drunk December 2025, as pictured.
Actually smells like hops, quite a bit so, though with a piney, pithy, grapefruity prominence. Some heavy spice and almost a hint of petrol. Biscuit, cracker and such balance from the malt. No wort, no oxidation.
Hoppy in the flavor, though again, some of this plasticy yeast and petrol character is somewhat problematic. Lots of hop, though it's mostly grapefruit. Why can't they get real, contemporary hop character in to an NA IPA?? It's always something redolent of 2006. That said, I'll take it. This is still very hoppy even if it is mostly pine and grapefruit. I feel like this is the very minimum bar NA IPAs need to be at for hops, even though this is like top 5% percentile currently, since so many NA "IPAs" are just mildly hopped, watery seltzer.

Pours hazed gold into a willi. White head with large bubbles recedes to skim surface leaving scant lacing. Tangerine and pine aromas. Crisp with sweet tangerine, guava and mango front to back. Lasting pine finish.
