Blond colour, slightly hazy; it's dull, but it has better foam than other NA beers. The aroma is very mild, there's some malt and hops. I had a Partake Blonde just days ago; comparing it to that one this one has a better body, but also more of that cereals/cardboard flavour typical of NA beers, although not as egregious as they used to be 10-20 years ago; bold bitterness, which unfortunately doesn't come with much hop quality; in the finish there's a tiny buttery trace.
Drinkable, on a hot day, but I'm not completely sold.

Cloudy pale yellow colour, dull; the head is ok. Mild aroma of fruit candy, melon. The body is ok (no ttoo watery); maybe because they used wheat, the flavour is less grainy, less wet cardboard, than their IPA; the bitterness is quite low (no way it's 52, if they could test it), but it's in balance with the rest; the hops have a light lemon touch; there's a buttery trace, but I don't think it's diacetyl.
Decent.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Chuck's CD. Another beer style that I feel translates well into NA. A style that I typically avoid regularly, I might even enjoy NA versions more. Cloudy golden yellow pour. Patchy head. Lots of floral and orange ge fruit on the nose. Juicy orange spice, tea flavor, with some coriander linger. Slick taste. Refreshing and cool finish. Fun brew here.

On tap at Chuck's CD, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out somewhat herbal and skunked notes. Flavour is alright, with herbal hops, straw, and some light skunky notes. Herbal and easy to drink. Okay.

16 oz can poured at Chuck's CD. NA cans beer flights on a sunny Saturday. Pale golden in color with a moderate haze. Aroma has a floral hop front, gentle cereal grain. Honey nut cheerio. Flavor manges to be quite balanced with grassy hops, and cereal grain wort. Pretty easy drinking overall. Gritty finish. Usually regularly brewed blonde Ales lack flavor more so than this does, so overall, a good product.

Can: Poured a deep golden color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light biscuit malt notes with some resinous hops notes. Taste is also a mix of biscuit malt with some resinous hops notes and a resinous finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Better than expected NA IPA but still a somewhat off taste from the malt is discernible.

Great foam on a hazy deep yellow body. Smells of good dank armpitty hops, a little wet. Taste is smooth hops, slight sweetness, ending with good oiliness. A nice session IPA, the alcohol isn't missed.

Lots of rust and lots of oak. More flavour than many non booze beers but that doesn't mean this is good by any means. Amber pour with ok head. Very bitter finish. Very tinny, astringent. Can.
