From the bottle, it pours a hazy amber color with a very nice thick white head that slowly reduces. The nose gets a nice dose of fruity scents with light malt. The mouth gets a slightly water feeling light malt brew with notes of fruity hops, light malt and light bitterness. Very nice NA.

Pours a hazy, golden amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and floral, tropical hops, with notes of passion fruit and mango. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and floral, fruity hops, with tropical and lighter citrus notes of passion fruit, mango and grapefruit. Finishes with a light bitterness and some passion fruit lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium carbonation.

This has actually really impressed me for a non-alcoholic beer, being quite fruity for the style and almost completely lacking that vegetal, soapy hop profile that these beers often take on. I would almost go so far as to call it a non-alcohoilc New England IPA because of those rather noticeable tropical hop notes, with passion fruit really standing out here, while the lack of bitterness actually seems kinda fitting here, rather than lacking. Of course it can't really compare to the juicy hops and fluffy mouthfeel of the real thing, but as far as NA beers go, this comes as close as I have tasted so far, with the body and mouthfeel also being great for the style. Overall, this is probably the best non-alcoholic beer that I've had so far, although I admittedly haven't really tried that many craft examples of the style yet.
