This is one of the better IPAs I've found (as far as N/A). Juicy, bitter, and most importantly, one of the best textures/bodies of any N/A beer I've had. Not too bitter, but still quite hop-focused. Is it on par with a top tier, non-N/A WC IPA? Of course not, but we aren't at that stage of the N/A game yet, so you have to accept that this is still pretty damned satisfying for an N/A.

Smells like ginger soda, I suppose. Maybe some sweet malt? But it's hard to tell that from just regular old sugar. Ginger is nice, though. Spicy and authentic.
Does have a bit more beer character in the mouth, with an actual attenuation to it. Not sugary, but not thin either. Great spiciness from the ginger. Vs a ginger beer, I like how much more dry this is, and you get a bit of wheat and barley nuance, too, I suppose. Lingering spice and acidity helps refresh the palate and keep it very drinkable.

Smells quite tropical, round and fruity. Authentic, with nothing weird going on. Good citrus zest and juice. Very much like a cocktail-inspired beer. Good maltiness, even.
Juicy and tart with great citrus acidity. Nice malt texture, drying out on the finish with more grapefruit and a bitter, peppery character. If you don't mind a cocktail-like beer, this certainly does a great job and is even quite malty, to-boot.

Pours pale yellow into a willi. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Skunk and pine aromas. Crisp with sour skunk and cardboard upfront turning to earthy pith before the lasting cardboard finish. Old skool NA.

Can from Ondernulpuntvijf. Citrusy hop with orange, some grapefruit and toasty malt. Fairly bitter, slightly sweetish. Light body. Hoppy and bitter, not bad for the style.

Pours clear light yellow into a willi. White head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Mild bread aromas. Crisp with a hint of citrus and not much else - not especially interesting, but drinkable - almost like a mis-labeled Athletica.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a willi. Grapefruit aromas. Crisp with sweet multigrain and pine upfront turning to earthy malt in the dry, medium length finish.

6 pack of cans, best before 8/13/2026, most recent can drunk 1/4/26, as pictured.
Sweet barley and almost a dash of corn with yellow fruit galore (big golden apple and a hint of melon). Not super expressive/complex in the hop department, that's for sure. But it's clean and pleasant enough with no seltzer or wort character.
Nice body on it, or maybe a lot of that is the big carbonation...but it's not seltzery and there is some malt sweetness and texture. Would have liked a little more hop character, or a bit more distinct/complex hop character, I guess. As is, it's pleasant and has a mild bitterness to balance, but doesn't show much more than golden apple, unripe strawberry and a touch of musk melon.

Fresh dill is bright and authentic. Prominent, if not quite dominant. Lactic acidity gives additional zestiness and the gentle cucumber lightens things with its floral character. Good salinity, as well.
Salty/briny and lightly tart with tasteful acidity. Would like a little more cucumber than dill, but it's hard to complain here for an NA sour. Almost juicy, with a rich, malty/wheaty texture.
