This IPA radiates citrus fruit from the moment you pour it to the second you finish that last sip with a satisfied sigh. The bright, sharp twist of bitterness on the end makes you want to dive back in for one more. Store and enjoy chilled.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. Pours totally clear honey-gold with a frothy, white head - it looks great. Lightly sweet with pleasant sun-kissed pale malts, mild tangerine notes, soft piney bitterness. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more bready pale malts, mellow pine and citrus notes. The character is mild but it drinks just fine.

[33cl can from Waitrose, Bracknell.] A bright pale amber pour with a thin white head and lively carbonation; lemony aroma; sharp lemony taste with a biscuity malt base; and a grassy finish. A good example of an AF beer - shows how much progress has been made recently.

Big lemon aromas from the Citra hops, but now also mentions on the can: Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe and Colombus. Honey notes as well and some decent grassiness comes out of it later. Slightly unfiltered, yellow colour with a bubbly head, under-average retention, but a decent soapy ring on the brew. The mouthfeel is light, but some nice dryness builds in the finish. Still getting the mild honey I get in better brewed low-alcohol beers. The hops balance out the rest. A fine 0.4% IPA.

33 cl can @ home, BBE 18.02.2022 Aroma has plastic vibes, grapefruity hops and musty malty hayness. Flavour has plastic tones, some grapefruit. Finishes with odd menthol-like tones. Also some graininess. Okay-ish NA-IPA.

Ruikt goed, smaakt slapjes, wel lekker fris maar hoppigheid ontbreekt. Niet echt een ipa smaak zonder alcohol.

Can picked up at Væskebalancen - Valby - pours almost clear gold with a tiny white head. Light fruity and malty with some subdued notes of orange, grapefruit, light piney, thin body, bitter hoppy finish. Ok AF brew.

330ml can from Cheese & Wine Shop, Darlington. Golden amber colour, white foam head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, grain, floral hop. Taste is malty, some grain and caramel, with citrus and hoppy bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable. Good for non alcohol and gluten free.

Pours hazed yellowblonde. Very tiny white head, layer of foam more so than a head really. Scent is citra hops indeed. Doesnt really give away it's NA content. Taste is fairly intense. Citrussy hops, with a tiny bit of pine as well. Mild maltyness. Thinbodied. not sticky malty such as usual NA's have, and for that I applaud . Medium carbo, which is high if you have a thin body like this. Enjoyable !
