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."

Can, TWSP. 0.3% and 10 calories. Oh this is gonna be great. Golden, clear, sewage off-white head. Wet paper, citrus nose. Flavor is wet paper, cardboard that encountered a lemon while shoved deep in the can, bread crust.

Pours hazy diarrhea water into a stein. Soapy head with little retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Grassy hop and sweet bilge aromas. Sour nasty grass and wet hay upfront turning to bitter gastric juices and bark in the lasting finish. Um, no.

Clean worty malt. Light bitterness. Bit sweet but not bad. I prefer this to the IPA.

Some older hops on the nose, and worty malts. Good balance...I think this has better balance than the IPA, which just seemed off to me. One of the few craft NAs out there, and worth trying.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. White head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Pine and mango aromas. Crisp and watery with dusky hay, pumpernickel sourdough and earth upfront turning to a lasting bitter pith finish.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a clean golden colour with a white frothy cap that does stay pretty long, and foamy lacing is left. Smells quite nice at first pour with the coriander grasses from the hops over the caramel malts. Then, the hops calm down a bit and the cereal grains show up. The taste is where it goes down. Not in a bad way. Just mild. Still, some decent hoppiness found and hints of grains. The malt is just really mild. The mouthfeel is quite thin, but some dryness saves it. Some honey notes I keep on finding in low-alcohol beers. All-around, a much better brew for the alcohol content.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver, can
Golden color. The aroma is not too bad, some fruity esters, but also paper, corn. The mouthfeel is quite harsh, it's grainy, and it ends with pithy bitterness.
Bad beer, not the worst Low Alcohol.
