6 pack of cans best before 7/10/26, which is an absurd best before date, drunk December 2025, as pictured.
Fruity and hoppy with a crackery malt that also shows a touch of biscuit. Not too heavy on the fruit and still allowing some citrusy and tropical fruits from the hops, to supplement and create a fairly good intensity of aroma, especially for an NA.
Similarly-flavored with a good bit of fruit juice character but nothing is too sweet here. Solid hop bitterness including plentiful grapefruit and a hint of pine. Biscuity, crackery malt with a medium-light body; actually quite substantial for an NA. Primarily citrus (grapefruit and lemon) with some tropical fruit on the finish. One of the better NA IPAs I've had.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to pool surface. Mild garlic aromas. Spritzy with mango and berry front to back. Medium length earthy passion fruit and pith finish.
