Canned. Dark black with undetermined clarity, assumedly filtered pretty well. Dark beige head slowly fades to ring. Good cocoa and coffee in the nose with hints of sourdough and dried dark fruits. Bready. Slick and lightly creamy with fudge and coffee roast giving way tonight vanilla and sourdough wheat. Pretty simple dark malt, breast base malt, good dryness and a medium-light body. Fine. Clean. Unexciting but not intended to be anything mind blowing.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Canned 9/3/21, drunk 12/26/21. Clear brass with a hint of chill haze. Medium-sized white head fades steadily to a messy ring. Tangerine, peach and mild pine with strong fruity yeast and a touch of sourdough like maltiness. Black pepper and dried herb. Soft, lightly to moderately bitter. Black pepper, unripe peach and hints of orange and lemon juice and rind. Very dry, and to that effect, maybe a bit too dry and lighter bodied than I'd prefer. But the flavors are good for an old school IPA without too much pine or overly dry/acidic citrus. For your flagship beer, and an NA in particular, however, this is fantastic, and Athletic has well-earned its popularity.

12 ounce can from the brewery by mail order, 12/4/21. Clear gold, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of pale malt, citrus. Taste is pale malt, glue, grass, citrus. Thin, crisp, refreshing. For a NA shitty pale lager, it's pretty damn good.

Not really feeling this one like the other IPA from Athletic, weird aftertaste, I'd stick with their flagship over this

Surprised by this, enjoyed while going through a period where I’m trying to give up alcohol but still enjoy beer. I can’t say its “just like the real thing” but its pretty damn close. Tastes like a run of the mill IPA, nothing exemplary about it, but if you want an IPA but can’t have alcohol this is a great option. Hopefully more brewers attempt to make N/A versions of their flagship brews.
