Grassy, resinous, a little butter and slight sweetness. Mouth feel if full, carb is very soft. Low to medium bitterness, not bad for a non alcohol beer.

Can. Amber beer with a cream head. Citrus aroma. Grapefruit and light grain flavor. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit lingers. Just a little grainy, but not bad.

Can (24082) from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. Hazy yellow with light sparkle, decent head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is citrus, nonspecific fruit and pine. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, flat-to-soft carbonation and finish as taste. Some complexity but the brightness (acidity?) of the citrus and fruit is missing from alcohol beers and/or needs more carbonation. These are getting better and better though.

Blond colour, slightly hazy; it's dull, but it has better foam than other NA beers. The aroma is very mild, there's some malt and hops. I had a Partake Blonde just days ago; comparing it to that one this one has a better body, but also more of that cereals/cardboard flavour typical of NA beers, although not as egregious as they used to be 10-20 years ago; bold bitterness, which unfortunately doesn't come with much hop quality; in the finish there's a tiny buttery trace.
Drinkable, on a hot day, but I'm not completely sold.

Can: Poured a deep golden color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light biscuit malt notes with some resinous hops notes. Taste is also a mix of biscuit malt with some resinous hops notes and a resinous finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Better than expected NA IPA but still a somewhat off taste from the malt is discernible.

Pale amber, with haze. No head. Worty nose with fruity hops. Decent bitterness, and that helps cut the wort, but it also makes for a bracing finish...old time IPA. Some woody, floral hop notes on this. Not bad, non-alc hop juice.

Okay gold body and modest foam. Smells of okay hops, slightly sweet and weedy, vague malt but a little too wet. Taste is nice bitter hops, soft pine and malt, good carbonation and lingering malt but missing umami. Drinkable, better than many other non alcoholic IPAs.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish pale blonde with full white head. Aroma of mild citrus hops and some oddly sweet candy. Taste is all diacetyl (like copious amounts). Terrible. Drain Pour.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick patches of lace. Sweet aroma of crackery pale malt, tropical fruit, orange, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of biscuity pale malt, orange, lemon, pine and floral hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. A little thin, but a pretty good N/A beer.
