Canned 9/8/21, drunk late Nov and early Dec 2021. This showed up in the local store and I was excited to have a fresh Notch NA beer. Then I got it home and looked at the canning date....Almost 3 months in distribution??? Not sure what's going on here.... Clear, brass-golden, quickly failing, white head. Smells like green apple and oxidation. Tastes like green apple and oxidation. What the F? I mean, serves me right, I guess, for not looking at the canning date before buying it, but damn, would never have guessed it would be 3 months old fresh on the shelf. The low rating is due mostly to how old and stale the beer is, but, ultimately, the brewer is still responsible for how their beer reaches the consumer.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention crackles and recedes to hug rim. Fruity stale malt aromas. Crisp with stale and sour malt and dirty dishwater front to back. Hmm... reminds me of my Mom's Clausthalers in the 70s...
