Bottle. Clear, deep golden body with a medium sized tan head. Quite distinct citric hop aroma with malt an hint of ripe orange. Flavor has a nice combination of sweet malt, citric fruit and some bitterness that makes this a decent and food friendly low alcohol alternative. Not too weak in body either and decent aftertaste. Not bad if you are capable to see this as this and not necessary need to have an IPA or whatever as a reference.

02 03 2025 Aromat bardzo nikły trochę kwiatowy trochę owocowy. Obfita beżowa piana, klarowane, bursztynowe. Goryczka chmielowa kwiatowa jest, słodycz słodowa, i taka owocowość chmielowa. Nagazowanie duże, lekkie, orzeźwiające, nie ściągające. Ogólnie fajne bezalkoholowe z goryczką.

Sixer, kinda fresh from Appalachian during dry January. Last one in the fridge, wife accidentally grabbed it thinking it was a ginger ale. February 19.
Pint glass at home. Clear, slightly dull gold, thin but sticky head.
Grainy, grassy, slight grapefruit brightness on the nose.
Bittersweet. Hyper grassy, thin white grapefruit pith & a little saline.
Itchy, thin, full carb, with a bit of a tannic nature.
Solid low cal, not quite N/A.
Cheers.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal citrico. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è ambrato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano indizi di caramello, miele, resina, pino, agrumi e arancia amara.

This one I was never too fond of. Weird grassy and lightly fruity aroma interrupted by soap and light bile/wort. In the flavor, it's mostly bitterness with light pine and that strange, chewy, lightly worty character. Cardboard and paper, with vegetal bitterness lingering.
