6 pack canned 2/17/26, last one drunk 6/3/26.
Plentiful sweetness though it's mostly fruit sugar/actual sugar. Graham cracker, biscuit and white bread galore, but at least it's substantial. Fruits are reasonable. You certainly won't mistake it for fresh puree, but it's not sugary and cheap either.
At first it tastes like aspartame, or something like that. I can never really shake that flavor and it doesn't taste very natural. Not much in the way of real citrus or pineapple and the malts seem borderline worty.

6 pack canned on 3/5/26, last can drunk 5/24/26.
Good mix of pickle, lime and slight base malt. Clean, well-presented and aromatic without too much lime.
Some actual texture here, wow. Not sure how they did it in this lighter beer, but maybe the corn. It really helps create a satisfying texture and balance the salinity and acidity, which are both pretty nicely-balanced. Not my favorite, as I'm not really a "reaches for a cold one at the end of my shift" type of guy, but any of their beers that aren't thin and seltzery I can get behind.

I certainly enjoy the honeydew terpenes here much more than I do all of the cannabis terpenes in the IPAs. Gives a good honeydew impression without any sweetness or real artificiality. Substantial wheat behind it with, perhaps, a kiss of hops. It's refreshing and inviting in a fruited wheat beer sort of way.
Similar to the nose, the terpenes don't add any sweetness, which is nice. Just a real slick wheat texture, the only thing really adding any substance here, with some peppery bitterness from the terpenes on the finish, as well. Not thin or seltzery. Refreshing enough for a summer wheat beer, I suppose.

Canned 4/29/26, drunk 5/18/26.
Spicy as hell with big herbal notes, lots of black pepper and unripe tropical fruit/citrus rind. Maybe a touch of allium. Minor white grape. Seems to be a bit of substance from the oat and wheat. Pretty nice hop character for an N/A. Well, well, well above average.
A reasonably wheaty/oaty texture helps ward off the seltzery feels. But as usual for Go, it still needs more texture/depth. Hops are done well, and the can I had immediately upon receiving the six pack was the best (a week or so ago). It's already noticeably fading even in the fridge, after only a week. A bit too herbal and incredibly spicy, without enough Nelson character, though there's some soft white grape and papaya lingering.

Rich amber grains with a good complexity to them. Toasty, spicy, nutty, a touch fruity. Very interesting, clean, balanced.
Similar flavors with a lot of molasses and a nicely supported body with much more depth than your usual N/A. Reasonable sweetness, but of course not too sweet with maple and molasses lingering. Toastiness on the finish dries it out, but not too much so. This line (the Freedom gluten-free line) has been excellent, on account of all the random grains they use.

Not the worst watermelon character. Not sweet and candyish, but still a concentrate. Some wheat in the background softens/dulls it somewhat.
Yeah, I mean, it's just watermelon concentrate/watermelon flavoring and wheat. A hint of tartness, not thin and seltzery at least. Probably better if you don't like beer. I have a very low tolerance for concentrate/flavoring and watermelon is one of the most artificial tasting of them all.

Hey this actually smells like rice, a bit of lager yeast and some fresh herb from the hop! Wow, no wort, no seltzer, no cardboard!
Still very light-bodied, of course, but this is about as good as it gets for N/A lager currently (mass-produced ones, anyways). I thought Athletic Noble Pils was much better-hopped than this, but this one's rice and lager character beat that one out. I was thinking, "Wow, did Go Brewing really just knock it out of the park with this one??" and then, "No, probably just having it 3 weeks old instead of 3 months old." Sadly. When you are centrifuging an already light, precarious beverage, it doesn't make for a long life. That said, I DO think this is quite well done with a good balance of malt, rice and and hop and more body than usual for an N/A.

Do smell the juniper and it's well-done. Not astringent or dominant, but there, and giving a West Coast-like vibe to the beer. The hops are bit timid, to say the least, but there's no wort and there's a fruity yeast and mild earthiness that give more of a rustic gruit character, if I'm being honest.
Lightly malty with an actual body to it, which is surprising given the lack of oat or wheat. But I'll take it! Juniper and a big fruity yeast continue in to the flavor with cracker and biscuit from the malt. Light citrus and light woodiness from the hop. Wish it were a bit deeper, rounder, juicier. But all-in-all, this is a pretty big success for an NA and I'm glad they branched out with some unusual ingredients.

Smells slightly fruity, very earthy. Definitely on the dark side of a medium roast. But I've smelled worse. Not a ton of beer character, maybe a bit of caramel and bread. Low roast.
I've gone back and forth on this one. There's a lot of coffee which is moderately-well-done. There's a lot of sweetness which, on one hand, seems to somehow add body, and on the other, adds too much sweetness. Prickly carbonation, earthy, but creamy at least. Not overdone with roast or raw bean.

And yet, after the disasters that were Burn it Down and Sunbeam Pils, this smells completely different, with actual, juicy, whirlpooled hops and substantial grains. Citrus and tropical fruit with buttery grains.
Not exactly huge of body, but it's not as seltzery as some of their other stuff. The gluten-free side effect is that they seem to use more varied grains that seem to contribute to a better body than just their regular barley-wheat base. Hops aren't a knockout, either, but they're better than average, giving some actual playful fruitiness, and a touch of tropical character, with reasonable bitterness. No wort or oxidation. Some earthiness and unique flavors from the non-barley grains.
