Can, best before 8/27/26, drunk 2/17/26.
The fruit character is authentic and quite aromatic, though there's a bit of candy-like sweetness. Not much in the way of beer I can find, though. Not even any crusty, rustic wheat or lactic character (I thought this was a sour, but it's not).
Sweet and fruity with a hint of chew to the body. Very gentle acidity from the fruit. I guess it tastes like the cocktail? It's not too sweet (at least this can that I held a few weeks isn't; the first can I opened was borderline too sweet). Kind of a weird one. I mean, apparently they just wanted it to taste like the cocktail, but it really just tastes like a fruit beer, with significantly less emphasis on the beer aspect.

355ml can. Clear golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, light pine, malts. Taste of hoppy citrus, pale malts, grapefruity bitterness. Light bodied.
Pretty decent effort AF IPA.

Bit of soy-tinged smokiness and various umami with definite cacao and not-overdone cinnamon. A bit of metal in there, too, unfortunately. Not-overroasted, but also certainly far from sumptuously malty. Peppery smoke and light roasted chocolate lingering.
Cacao nibs are noticeable and interesting while cinnamon is not overdone, and the soy and smoke adds good flavor and complexity, yet the body is so thin it renders all the positive aspects almost moot. I drink it, and I accept that this is the current state of most NA beer, but it's disappointing, as this would be so nice with some actual body and depth to it.

Pours dark cola into a willi. Tan head crackles and recedes to nothing. Sour malt aromas. Soft with dark prune and raisin upfront turning to chocolate in the medium length finish.

Pours slightly hazed bright amber into a willi. Tan head with little retention recedes leaving scant shets. Earthy caramel and multigrain aromas. Spritzy with sweet malt, multigrain sourdough and earthy bark front to back. Tastes like a crisp wort.

I thought this one was quite well-done. There's even some sweaty, funky hop with lots of mineral in the nose. The fact that you can smell a fairly nicely aromatic noble hop presence, lots of fresh herb and stuff. There is a light touch of the ever-present cardboard-like oxidation from the centrifuge, but alas, that's the way it is with any centrifuged NA.
More oxidation in the flavor, per usual from Athletic (and most NAs) but also a lemony, herbal hop presence that is significantly higher than average for most minimally-hopped NAs. Actually has somewhat of a body, too, with some biscuit and white bread-like texture and light sweetness.
