This beer has a mild, less than impressive aroma, but the flavor is better. As expected it’s hop forward. Pine and citrus. Unlike another NA IPA I had a while back (brewdog punk AF), this has some body. It’s actually alright, certainly better than my low expectations.

Undated can (there is a code, but no date) drunk 1/10/25.
Hazy/murky, bronze-copper. Large, creamy, off-white head, well-retained.
Wow, that just about smells like an IPA! Juicy pear, maybe some light tangerine and, importantly, nothing weird/off. No wort, metal, strange yeast, twangy hop...
The usual reasonable amount of body for Best Day, which is light-bodied relative to real beer, but medium-plus relative to NA beers. Actual bitterness and reasonable hop flavors, though nothing juicy. Very slight Galaxy spice/dryness on the finish. But it is hoppy all-around, in an indistinct sense. And clean.

Undated can drunk 1/10/25.
Clear, medium-copper. Large, rocky, white head, strong retention.
Caramelly-cereal sugar, a bit of light copper. Maybe some light floral hop (vague pine?) but very, very timid on the hops. Clean other than the metallic character.
In the mouth it's got a decent body. I will say, their stuff is a lot better-bodied than the usual NA hop seltzer. Almost malty without much, if any, wortiness. Clean, not really metallic in flavor. There's some vague pine, maybe light grapefruit. Mild bitterness. At least it's clean and the texture is strong for an NA. Just needs a bit more hop.

Can, with plenty of coding, but nothing I can make a date out of, drunk 1/9/25.
Clear brass with light copper/golden. Large, white head.
Hmmm, this can doesn't smell much like the last one I had. This is mostly caramel and oxidation with a hint of wort. I guess this can oxidized but a can from the same 12 pack didn't. That one actually smelled and tasted like a Kolsch. I'll update my review once I try the next can. But this is a lot of caramel and oxidation, albeit with a bit more body than usual for a NA beer. And it's fairly clean with only minimal wortiness. Slight herbal hop edge, slight seltzer/pretzel character.

12oz can. Poured a pale yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light lime. Light salt, limes. A touch thin, but overall, a pretty decent NA. Maybe a touch more lime.
