Can best before 9/12/26, drunk 7/14/26.
Has a nice, lively, fruity aroma with not too much caramel/toast. Maybe a bit of red berry and even a very slight hint of coffee.
Toasty, though not tannic and, though it's light-bodied, it's not seltzery. No wort or oxidation. Pretzel, red fruit, grassy-herbal hops and gentle malts. Clean and drinkable. Some more body would be nice, but that's true about 99% of the time with NA beers.

Pours slightly hazed bright amber into a willi. Tan head with little retention recedes leaving scant shets. Earthy caramel and multigrain aromas. Spritzy with sweet malt, multigrain sourdough and earthy bark front to back. Tastes like a crisp wort.
