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

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, as Free Wave Hazy IPA, 8/18/21. Hazy orange, large fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of dank, green hops, pale malt. Taste is dank, onion, resin, pale malt. Fuller bodied than usual for the style. Lingering bitterness. Nice IPA.

This is America. An attempted coup by MAGA scumbags. Move to Russia if you want a fascist cunt in place. Fear for a civil war. These people should've been gassed and beat back before this even had the chance to happen, though it was white people, not BLM.

12 oz. can share by Tfontana, socially distanced. Aroma is grain, soft earth. The flavor leans on grain and earth. Lower bitterness with a medium body and dry texture. Not bad for non alcoholic beer but certainly not something I am going to reach for.

Can (8/24/20) pour from the Lazy Dog Beer Shoppe. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is light floral/fruit with piney resin, earth and cracker malts. Taste follows aroma almost exactly. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Overall, on par with pretty mediocre standard beers so that's saying something for a low-alcohol beer. Not huge hop flavors give it's Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic but age of can may have something to do with that. At least it tasted like beer.

Enjoyed this one a little more - most of the same qualities, but less sour than prior versions. Earlier Rating: 12/04/2019 Total Score 3.0 Pours slightly hazed deep gold into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving no lacing. Crisp with sour wet hay, pepper and sweet malt aromas. Sour citrus and melon upfront turning to bitter, earthy pith before the lasting wet hop finish. Earlier Rating: 5/9/2019 Total Score: 3.2 Pours slightly hazed gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Sour malt and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sour citrus and summer fruit upfront turning to dry pith and peel in the lasting finish. Finish is the best part..
