Description
"Over a decade ago I gave up alcohol due to a medical condition. But I missed my beer. I missed the taste of beer and discovering new beers, especially new craft beers. But more than that, I found that I missed the social connection that comes from sharing a drink with a colleague after a hard days work, cracking a beer with the guys after hockey, and joining in to celebrate special occasions with family and friends.

So a friend suggested that I try non-alcoholic beer. The problem is most of the non-alcoholic beer I tried tasted awful and there really was almost nothing in terms of variety. Unfortunately the long-standing stigma surrounding non-alcoholic beer has been well deserved.

That is until now!

I launched Partake Brewing to bring all the things that make craft beer great to non-alcoholic beer drinkers including taste, variety, authenticity, creativity, and passion. Non-alcoholic beer drinkers want to Partake in the craft beer journey with everyone else. Why? Because we’re beer lovers too."

Chocolate barley malt and hay aroma. Dark brown with moderate but short lasting tan head. Mildly sweet chocolate syrup, barley malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body. Not unpleasant but more like drinking watery chocolate milk.

From a can dated BB 2/22. Clear pale. Slight nose of weird hops. Taste is initially IPA but after it settles it goes from IPA to a noticeable astringent bitter backbone that lingers long after the finish. Must say tho, I've tasted a lot of real alky IPAs and this is certainly as good as the typical craft beer IPA that is out there today. If you gave this to somebody at a party they probably wouldn't know it was NA. At least it has the co2 level of soda water.

OK, the last bullshit partake I'll rate this weekend. Another WTF non alky beer. I don't get it. I drank this right out of the can. I'm not even bothering to look at it. I assume its a gold pour from the rating below. The taste? Well, I would not mind using this as a chaser for an IPA, but water does the same thing. I guess I'm hurting some snowflakes feelings, oh well. Go into a safe zone and cry about it. BTW, there is no crying in beer tasting, is there?

Very dark pour. Scored this from my daughters fridge in cary NC. Pretty nice head. Taste is a little bit like fake dark beer but you certainly can tell its non alky with its veggie feeling about it. Wierd, drinking beer with these veggie attributes. Different for sure but I dont get why somebody would polute their temple with beer unless it was giving you a little buzz or two. At least this ahs a few things going for it; its dark, it tastes a little like dark beer and people will think your drinking dark beer, but your not! Fake news!

Yea from a can this stuff looks like lighter coke or old style cream soda. MEtallic nose. Taste is an odd combination of carbonated water ans some other stuff. Weird flavors. At least it has good co2. Not sure about these partake things. Oh well. Would never buy, found this tick in my daughters fridge in cary NC. heheh. Not offensive, I just don't know how this is classified as beer. Slight astringent bitter bite on finish.

Expired can in my daughters fridge. Pour is clear pale. Initial odd flavor reminiscent of old style near beer, you know like coors NA er sumthin like that. Goes down fairly easy. Just drinking this for a tick cause I think she was going to toss it. Perhaps i detect some light veggie pale ale hops in there. Does have lots of carbonation which take my mind off the fact it has no alky in it. Date code is BB 12/23/2021, heheh. Not real good as far as beer goes but it certainly taste better than most IPA.

355ml can. Pours a clear yellow-gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of bready pale malt, honey, light orange and floral hops. Mild, sweet flavour of bready pale malt, faint orange and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Malt forward, easy to drink, but boring. Decent for what it is.
