12 oz can poured. Darker copper orange pour, almost amber, with lots of foam head. Tasty IPA here overall, dense with malt flavors that lean on the bready side. Gentle bitter front, some pine, that grows and lasts ok the palate. Has a very old school west coast IPA feel to it. Flavorful and doesn't have some of the distinct features other NA brews have that give their status away. Nice super duper session IPA here.

12oz can from Bois Co-op. Clear golden pour, thick, rocky white head, tons of fine carbonation. Grainy, malty aroma, biscuity. Taste falls off a bit, initial bready malt taste, which flattens out fast for an abrupt finish. Nothing left on the palate. For an N/A beer, this quite good. Rated as a kölsch with consideration for the non-alcoholic style.

12 oz. can sent by brewers rep for comment. This pours darker than their Kölsch style. An amber color with a bit of haze, and tall, rocky head. The smell has a note of west coast resiny hop, but there is a bit of that metallic note that wasn’t in the Kölsch. Just a bit. The taste is still kind of off-balance. Hoppy beers don’t always work out without some alcohol to support them. Unlike the Kölsch, this has some soapy side notes that take me out of the IPA zone. Bitterness builds up as I go through the glass, giving it some redemption at the end.

6-pack sent by brewer for my review. Don't know that I'm as ecstatic as the previous rater, but this IS a good drink. Big foamy head over a pale yellow beer color. A light malty smell with no distractions. Light malts that are basic to the Kölsch style are not affected by going NA. Very slight sweetness, but mostly dry from a light hop balance. Tastes like nothing more or less than a good barley pop. Slightly grainy finish, but nothing to take me out of the beer.
