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."

12 oz. Getting those style ticks...Aroma has notes of dark bread, oatmeal, coffee, vegetables. Pours very dark brown to black with a one finger beige head that falls quickly into a ring. Taste is lightly bittersweet with near dark beer flavors. Watery. Not all that good, but it’s better than I expected.

Pours with nice big foam but it thins out quickly. Has a good dark brown body. Aroma is kind of weak biscuit and sugar. Taste is much the same with vague molasses notes. Carbonation is good but you can also tell that something's missing. Selection is pretty thin for non-alcoholic stouts and this one isn't bad, but could definitely be better.

Can was super cheap so for timing sake picked it up. Burnt caramel colored. Nose is dirty hops. Taste of bitter dirt water. No citrus or anything I would call pleasant

Nice foam on a clean clear copper body, good carbonation. Very nice piney hops on the nose. Flavour is still some very good pine hop notes, mellow grain. Okay oiliness on the mouth but it's also watery, you can tell something's missing. Solve that and you've got a great IPA.

Very nice foam, clear copper body and small carbonation bubbles. Lots of mango on the nose, some soft pine. Flavour is muddy mango, slightly rancid. Full mouthfeel and a bit of oiliness. Very good for a non-alc but just a bit more and it would be a good beer period full stop.

Very nice foam, medium gold, medium carbonation bubbles. Vague smooth hops on the nose but they tend to get drowned out by the carbonation. Flavour is modest grain, soft hops, a little light. Nice carbonation but still a little thin, a bit more fullness would make this better than many craft blonde ales.
