330mL can, pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma has some dankness, earthiness, and some mustiness. Flavour is rather harsh, with bitter earthiness, citrus, and rough earthy graininess. Not great, but pleasant enough for a NA hazy.

355mL can. Pours a murky dull blonde with a white head. Lots of dead citrus on the nose. Flavour has lots of dry citrus peels, dead malts. Very harsh and unrefined. This definitely tastes like a non-alc.

6 pack of cans, best before 5/23/26, last one drunk 1/10/26, as pictured.
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.

4 pack of cans, best before 6/27/26, drunk most recently on 1/9/26, as pictured.
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.

4 pack of cans best before 6/29/26, drunk January 2026, as pictured.
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.
