12 oz can from Bravus, via mail, 10/4/22. Unlcear yellowish color, thick white head. Aroma of lemon, pithy grapefruit / orange, and a little pine. Flavor is not up to the level of the aroma though. Bit of hops, but way more buttery and vegetal off flavors. Mouthfeel is okay. Ultimately, it just doesn't taste very good. Not for me.

12 oz can poured, picked up from NAbrews. Cloudy golden orange appearance, patchy foam head. Inviting pine heavy hop aroma. Flavor has plenty of rich caramel malts. Lots of wort flavor on this one, with a bitter late linger. Grapefruit peel type bitterness, with a soft forest finish. Flavorful brew, which I'll never complain about within the style. Not bad.

Can, best before 10/22, drunk 2/9/22. Mostly clear, deep bronze-brass and a foamy, off-white head that shows moderate-to-strong retention. Good C-hop character is distinct and not stale or too sweaty. Smells like a mid-tier, West Coast IPA. Nothing flashy or explosive, nor tropical or juicy, but fine. As it seems is the case with Bravus, it also smells very worty. I guess unfermented malt is just part of their schtick. It's hard to get past it, even if it doesn't smell terrible. I guess if you like malted shakes, or malt beverages, you can just sort of look at it as that. To its credit, it does provide more sugar for the beer, contributing to much better body/mouthfeel, despite, of course, giving it a worty flavor, as well. Soft, sweet, caramel and cereal with pine and grapefruit hops doing an ok job trying to balance, if not completely succeeding. Honestly, I'm so sick of the complete lack of mouthfeel in most NAs that I almost don't even mind the fact that this thing is basically a glass of unfermented beer.

Can sent by Bravus for my impression. Looks like they're shooting for an American-style pale ale, as their website says this is made with Simcoe, Cascade, Columbus and Centennial hops. This throws up some frothy suds over a pretty clear golden pale ale body. There is a nice smell of the 3 C's hops to go with it. When poured chilled from the fridge, it does have a nice, hoppy pale ale taste. Only issue is again, a slight tang of raw graininess. Not as pronounced as the two beers before this. Manages to stay pretty dry. So far, this is the one most like the beer its style is mimicking.

Can. Pours clear golden, medium white head, decent residual and lacing. Aroma is a bit worty, light citrus, grapefruit, grain. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter. Light body. Not a bad product, but why is it so hard to get rid of the wort flavor in N/A beers?

Can from HI-Time. Pours translucent orange tinged gold with a decent foamy white head. Aroma is citrus - seems orange. Malt is a bit toffee. Med body. Flavor starts very much orange citrus, but quickly becomes something like spelt. Fairly dry. Fairly bitter. Good when driving back and forth to the lake!

Slightly hazy copper-gold color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Pine, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of resiny hop, fruit and grainy malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Below average.

Pours hazy amber with a white head. Aroma of fresh malt. Taste has weak hop notes, mild malt elements. Palate has very slight grassy elements. Eh.
