Poured from a 12 oz can into a straight sided mug. Pale yellow in color, with a white head that left plenty of sticky lacing as it receded. This is piney, citrusy, floral, bitter, and loaded with notes of umami. Crisp finish, rather light in body very easy drinking, and delicious. This is an excellent food beer. With this at the ready, Sober October should be a cakewalk!

Appearance: Clear-ish light golden yellow. Looks like bubbling chardonnay.
Smell: Surprisingly good, makes you salivate. Notes of fruity hops. Light aroma, would like more of it.
Taste: Well-balanced between bitter and sweet. Low acid, which works well with it. None of the icky lingering bitterness most other alcoholic beers have.
Feel: Definitely more body than most non-alcoholic beers, but not as much as quality IPA.
The best non-alcoholic beer I have ever tasted, but still not as good as the real thing. Worth drinking.

Been enjoying this one and good to have it on the NA shelves. White head with lace. Clear golden color.
Honey biscuit malt with some sweetness. Toffee. Earthy, piney hops. Some citrus/stonefruit.
Very flavorful and enjoyable. These go down quick.

From a 12 oz can - canned on 12/01/23
This is a crystal clear pouring golden colored beer. Tons of carbonation rising in the glass that produces a 1 finger white head. The head is quite frothy, but not long lasting at all. There is no lacing on the glass.
There's a bit of hops in the aroma. Somewhat of a sweeter tropical aroma, though it is somewhat light. I also get a grainy aroma from the malts.
There's some hops in this beer, but not as much as I was expecting. I do get a bit of bitterness right away that fades to a slightly burnt, though roasty, malt bill. Somewhat cereal like in flavor.
Light, yet clean body.
Overall not a bad effort, though, I was expecting a bit more in the hop department based on the name.
