Have had many cans of this in varying conditions. Sadly, like any IPA, sitting on the warm shelf (which most NA beers are relegated to), and for long periods of time (ditto), is ruinous to these. Especially given the lack of alcohol as a preservative (and the heavy filtering and centrifuging). But, if you get this fresh, it's about as good as any hoppy NA beer out there, and I daresay better than many hoppy A beers. Bright and juicy at its best with pleasing bitterness. This score reflects the beer in its prime, stored properly, as it should.

355ml can found in an ice bucket at a 4th July party (2024), Laguna Hills. Light haze in the golden body, neat white head. Citrus nose and taste, not too bad for an Alcohol Free beer.

Im Independent Ale House Rapid City. Optisch trüb, kaum Schaum. In der Nase sehr fruchtig hopfig, im Trunk ebenso. Da ich noch fahren muss für heute sicher die beste Wahl.

Can mistakenly purchased by my father: not hazy with a thin white head. Aroma is passable... citrusy sort of piny. Uncooked wort. Taste is bitterish at the end. Kind of thin. Relatively drinkable.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy murky color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light grainy notes. Taste is also a mix of citrusy hops notes with some grainy notes and light bitterness. Body is pretty full for style with good carbonation. Grainy off taste kinda ruined this one for me.

Pours a murky yellow colour and a small white-ish head with little retention. Aroma's: dank and piney hops, a bit tangerine. Retronasal it's dank, light fruity, light bitter. Flavour is fairly bitter and grainish. A bit thin on the palate. Finish is grainish and above moderate bitter. Not too bad.
