Odd and funky amber coloured body with a slight copper glow, all with a very fast-dying tan head that only remains as a thin layer after a few seconds. Aroma of bread, stale malt, oats, funky sugars, a dash of pears and apples and a very small dose of lighter alpha acid hops. Ultra Light-Bodied; No body here at all, but some malt notes are noticeable, as are a bit of yeastie and bready notes with only a bit of the sugars coming through with a slight floral and grassy finish. Aftertaste is clean of course, but not showing much character, but a thin layer of oats and malt come through the cracks, as the finish is very watery with a little sweetness and a tiny dose of dry hops, but again, fairly minimal throughout. Overall, not really worth trying or even as a Non-Aloholic version of an APA - it's water, without hops and any compelling characteristic. I've tried it so you don't have to, on day 3 of this (what might be a long...) Month. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Wegman's in Alexandria, Virginia on 16-December-2021 for US$1,99 (part of a mixed six pack), best by 26-May-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-March-2022.

NA Pale Ale ✅️

Skunky and tastes old/flat. Common theme I've noticed with NA IPAs.

Unbalanced bitter hops, fruit on the nose, watery

Barley wort and grass aroma. Brown with minimal head. Moderately sweet barley wort and mild bitter grass flavor. Very light body.

Smokey and light for a dark

Grainy barley malt and grass aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet sorghum, grainy malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Okay body. A decent NA.
