Canned frim Wegmans. Another real good quality NA, hoppy citrus etc. Worth getting.

Crisp and ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a pretty small single centimetre tall pure white head that fades fast over the five per cent opaque body. Aroma of light pine, resin, a small dash of citrus and some odd notes - pure TANG powder in the nose - like when you shake the canister and open it real quick with the powder/haze still in the air and take a big whiff! Exactly like that - it's crazy! Light-bodied; Funky, cardboardie canned corn, biscuity and floral notes show through with a light touch of the tangerines noticeable from the Tang, but nothing of impact here - this is incredibly thin and soft throughout. Aftertaste has some very light hop notes, a dash of flowers and some very mellow wheatie and especially cardboardie malt notes, a hint of hops and nothing else for support or sweetness here - mellow throughout. Overall, a pretty poor offering from an otherwise nice brewery - this lacks just about everything here, but some decent floral and resinous notes (in the nose and a touch in the immediate taste) are the best things going for it. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Washington (Wisconsin Avenue NW), D.C. on 16-March-2023 for US$10,99/six pack, with a 'best by' date on the bottom of the can on 02-August-2023 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-March-2023, my Dad's Birthday - Happy Birthday Dad!

12 oz can poured, not to start the new year, but the new baseball season. Nice to see more breweries getting into the NA game. Come March, I truly appreciate the solid, flavorful options. Tasty IPA here. Somewhat cloudy golden pour with a loose, rocky foam head. Soft aroma, melon forward with some citrus. Slightly rich, juicy flavor, bright hop profile. Lingering melon. Cool, refreshing brew. Quite nice.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Madison, 1/29/22. Hazy orange, thin frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, pale malt. Taste is grain, tangerine. Simple. Decent.
