Funky cloudy light orange coloured body with a pretty large three to four centimetre tall head of VERY large bubbles (larger than soda) with an oily glow that looks like soap bubbles. Aroma of nice grassy and citrusey hops with a good bite of alpha acids with some noticeable what and sugars here as well, but crisp in the nose. Light-bodied; Very funky yeastie and wort-like flavours show at first with some wheat here as well, with a slight dose of citrus and tanginess at the end. Aftertaste is dry with the citrusey and slightly herbal hops noticeable, but the funky yeast, bready and worty flavours are stronger, especially on the finish, with a light sweetness on the end from canned corn. Overall, a decent enough start to my month of N/A beers, and from what I remember from these - this one is decent, not great, and while this attempts to be an IPA, it needs a bit more defined hops. A good place to start and many more to come during the month! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Philadelphia (Center City), Pennsylvania on 04-February-2023 for US$1,49, canned on 01-November-2022 and sampled on 28-February-2023 as the first Non-Alcoholic beer of my month of not drinking anything at all.

Can. Clear pale golden color with white head. Aroma is bready, grassy hops, a bit worty. Taste is the same, definitely has an alcohol-free beer character, not bad though. Feels a little bit like a malt lemonade. Medium carbonation. Solid.

A small taste from a can @ Alppila. Pours cloudy golden with a medium head. Aroma is malts with citrus. Flavor is sweet worty malts with citrus and hops. Drinkable.

6 pack canned 12/1/22, drunk April, 2023. Lightly hazy, light-blonde. Quickly-fizzling, white head. For 4 months old and having sat warm, this smells clean, not worty and still more hoppy than most NAs. Better hop quality here, in the form of just more of them and more modern varieties than, say, Athletic Run Wild. Clean, not a bit worty, almost a touch of juiciness. Still thin and very dry, but that's most of NA beers. Not quite up to the mark set by Untitled Art.
