Last of my free athletic brews. Dull orange pour and small head. Nose is diaper and some citrus. Tastes of orange, lemon, that diaper taste. Watery.

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.

12 oz can from a 6 pack. Not my first NA hazy, but definitely the one I went into with the most confidence. Paired the first couple cans with some yard work and it was quite the surprisingly refreshing brew. Pours a cloudy golden orange color, lots of rocky loose foam head. Lots of juicy melon and citrus hop character here. Cool constant. Citrus hop nose. Definitely the hoppiest NA brew I've come across. Juicy and flavorful. Standout NA product here.

Not really feeling this one like the other IPA from Athletic, weird aftertaste, I'd stick with their flagship over this

Wegman's can, as Free Wave Hazy IPA. Hazy orange with a soft off-white head. Nose is orange, cat piss, pine, light tropical notes. Flavor is paper, pale malt, citrus peel, green onion, green leaf. Certainly looks and smells the part, but the flavor just isn't quite right.
