Pours lightly hazy orange. The aroma is very fruity and full of mangoes. The flavor is of mango and resinous hops with a whole lot of malt. Full bodied. This one seems like more of a hazy IPA but it’s not marketed as such on the can/label.

Pours black with a one finger tan head. The aroma is big on the chocolate along with roast malt and a little bourbon. The flavor is sweet and heavy on the chocolate with roast malt, coffee , and somewhat subdued bourbon. It’s intense and very tasty though I’d have like the bourbon to be a bit stronger.

Pours hazy yellow and has a light citrusy aroma. The flavor is citrusy and malty with a malt profile that resembles many session IPAs. Not bad. The Sierra Nevada NA hazy is better, as is Athletic’s regular NA IPA.

Pours clear gold with a small white head. Smells mostly of grainy malt. It has a mild, malty flavor with a little hops bitterness. Light bodied. Eh. Not too bad.

Pours hazy pale yellow with a small white head. Smells of citrus and a little spice. The flavor is very sweet with a little hops in the finish. There’s some citrus and spice but mostly it’s sweet malt and wheat covering the booze. Meh.

Pours hazy yellow with a one finger head. Smells of citrus and some hop resin. The flavor is mildly to moderately bitter with juicy citrus and some pine. I liked their Trail Pass IPA more, but this is better than most NA beer I’ve tried.

Pours clear gold. Smells of mild citrus and caramel malt. It tastes moderately bitter with citrus and caramel. This is quite decent. I like it more than the hazy that I had the same night. Taste is similar to many a session IPA.

Founders does not call this beer a hazy on the label or the description, and it’s filtered, so what is it? I think that’s debatable. There’s no reason a beer couldn’t be made exactly like a New England IPA but filtered, and this is a surprisingly smooth imperial IPA. There’s citrus and a little floral notes in the aroma and flavor. Bitterness is moderate. Solid malt body. I could go either way on style. Perhaps it falls somewhere in between, but anyway, it’s quite enjoyable.
