Can - turbid gold - minimal head - bittersweet flavor, with a fair amount of mango and pineapple - a bit astringent and kind of flabby in the mouth - pithy finish, with lingering sweetness but then ultimately a dry, lingering bitterness - it’s decent.

Can picked up today from the brewery - says “lvl 3,” but thanks same abv and hops, so I do not think it warrants a new entry - super hazy gold with a thick, foamy head - creamy mouthfeel - very sweet - the galaxy hops are a little catty up front, but become softer and more herbal and peppery late - sugary up front and in the finish, tasting a bit like sweetened green tea - it’s fine.

Four pack of cans gifted by a friend - well I’ll be damned, and IPA that isn’t hazy - dang does this bring me back - potent, herbal and grassy hoppiness with sharp but not abrasive bitterness - sturdy malt base that adds heft and mild sweetness without getting in the way of the hops - load of hops flavor - citrus rind, dankness, pepper - I think it’s pretty dang good.

This stuff sucks - it’s basically hop water and it kind of even fails at being that - get yourself some Athletic Free Wave and steer clear of this garbage water.

Can - you can taste the fucking lactose in this big time - and the hop bitterness is low, which makes the sweetness that much more obvious - tastes grainy and muddled, with indistinct hop character and apparent alcohol - although I have to say I enjoy the rusticity of the spelt here, even if the overall flavor is muddled - ditch the lactose and ferment this with a Belgian and saison yeast and you might have a winner - meh.

It’s a brewery in a beach town - if you’ve ever been to one, you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, so I will spare the details - I will say, though, that they have a lot of outdoor seating and do a good job making a comfortable outdoor space for hanging - inside not so much and they allow dogs inside, which is gross - I don’t think there is a single thing on the food menu that is not deep fried, but the beer battered onion rings are delicious - beer is meh - their farmhouse ale was overly sweet and abrasively phenolic - counter service was fine, as were prices - it’s the only brewery in town, so drink up, nerds!

For being alcohol free, I think this is a great rendition of bitburger pils - clean and crisp, with a lot of fresh grassy hoppiness - malt structure is lightly sweet and bready, becoming crisp and dry in the finish - definitely a go-to for summer NA needs.

Four pack randomly found on the floor at a Richmond bodega (yes, Richmond has bodegas if you look in the right neighborhoods; I am as surprised as you) - pours a cloudy dark gold - tastes worty, with really apparent alcohol flavor - watery texture - herbal hope profile - lingering burn - it’s not good, but perhaps the bodega floor had something to do with that.
