Very hazy light golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall off-white head that seems to stay afloat a lot longer than most other Non-Alcoholic options, over the 80 per cent opaque body. Aroma of bright citrus, light yeast, a touch of grain and biscuits, but the hops are very nice here and smell perfectly reminiscent of a real New England IPA! Light-bodied; Pretty biscuity and saltine crackery malt notes show at first, but a pretty good orange and even tangerine juicy quality comes through from the hops with a nice finish of flowers and the soft grain. Aftertaste is clean and subdued with the hops showing more than the malts and the orangey, juicy notes still front and centre, in a good way with a little bit of the bready and yeast elements on the end. Overall, pretty nice fake New England IPA with real orange components, a clean malt bill and some floral finishes - a nice escape from some of the other Non-Alcoholic options - this one is worth drinking if you are sticking to N/As! Great to try during my month this year...I'll look for more of this one! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 13-November-2022 for US$2,79 with a 'BBE' date of 07-January-2023 on the bottom but sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-March-2023.

Pours a watery hazy straw from a can. Citrus aroma is a little off, smells grainy. Flavor is attenuated citra hops, thin and watery. For NA not bad.
