Poured just like you'd expect to, decent head to it, good yellow golden color. Quite impressed with this, bitter hop leaf. Light orange juice. Not as good as the real thing, but holds up just enough to be honest. Wow, looks like the ratings jump between acceptable (3ish to hate it). I'll put myself into the former category. I liked it enough. I've found I've liked having a few NA beers during the heat of a summer day and the trend away from IPAs below 7% is more than a bit frustrating.

Well this is all totally ridiculous; an IPA with no alky content? Tell me, is there such a demand for something so senseless ( to put it mildly ). First off, IPA tastes like chewing on rubber leather rotting green grapefruit rinds. So who would ever torture their taste buds if they weren't going to get some numbing alky along with it? Just asking. Well, I guess it has become en vogue to admire bitter beer lovers, no? I'm telling you I'm drinking this bitter bullshit right out of a can, aint wasting no glass on this one. It does smell like IPA. You know, it does have pretty good co2 level. Its fricken bitter fer sher but with the big fat gulps I get this almost tart feeling about it, can't be. Wait; is quite tart the sign of an alko pop? Not sher. How could it? There is only 1% alky in this, that means i need to drink 10 of em? I'll really going to need to piss a lot after this beer tasting experience. heheh - that is if you want to call this beer.
