IPA
Rescue Club Brewing Company

Canned 11/20/24. West Coast IPA in style. Pours an amber gold with minimal haze. Citrus, lime, pine notes throughout with a pleasantly bitter finish. As NA IPAs go, this is a good one.

 

 

 

Had this on 2022-10-12 near Pittsburgh, PA from a 12oz can

A - Hazy gold with a 2-finger white head and light lace

S - Mild pineapple, papaya, candy corn, hop buds

T - Plenty of lemon-lime fruity, up-front hop flavors then some pine and light tropical fruit give way to buckwheat bread. The light fruit sweetness moderates towards the end into a light, lime sweet tart taste and light bitterness.

M - Medium body and carbonation. Fuller bodied than most NA brews.

O - This is a good one. Seems like they didn't skimp on the hops. I like it and will have it again.

(12 oz can, A 4 CANNED ON 05/05/22; purchased single off shelf... poured into a 12 oz mug)

L: hazy as hell, light amber liquid; another beautiful crested foam stand, mashed potato lumps... breaks upon first sip, pulling away; some thin lace

S: lemon-lime Pez candy, orange zest/juicy pith, fresh cut grass and crushed flowers undertones... pretty good intensity and expression... maybe a mild muffiny bread aroma, but scattered in the mix

T: the bready pop slides in rough under the grapefruity, orangey, fruity cereal hop static atop... the aftertaste is the best part with the hops resurfacing, tasting 'normal' as the malt flavors dissipate... nugget of grassy, bitter bread flavor clings mid-palate; pithy bitterness slowly builds

F: frayed, fleecy flow; bit of a tart tang making my tongue tingle and lips smack... kind of craving more carbonation, more sizzle... airy, like most other NA IPAs

O: that bready note at the outset sets a bad tone for the remainder of the experience... it dies off a bit and allows the hops to build, layer, and dominate, but any time a random flash of it occurs, it just throws off any enjoyment... not one I'd get again (1995)

 

NA beers are slowly getting better.

 

A: The beer is hazy light yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a small patch of bubbles on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste follows the smell and has underlying hints of "off" flavors that you normally get from non-alcoholic beers.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't that bad for a non-alcoholic beer. I liked how the aromas and flavors of the hops masked just about all of the "off" flavors.

Serving type: can

 

had worse. not the best. p dece finish on the mouthfeel. i think they could benefit from a little dry hopping. may be changed after shelf time, but could carry a more forward flavor. currently just a bit wersht aht.

 

Canned 2021/02/11
Pours a light airy almost 1 finger head with med retention, very hazy pale blond color

Nose brings nice fresh hops, zesty citrus, a little grassy floral, touch of tropical fruit and a lemon/lime, touch of fresh wort malt

Taste brings hops out front again, fresh citrusy hops, lemon and lime with a little tangerine zest, a bit grassy, light straw like malt and fresh wort notes, not much malt a bit more like hop tea, med-lighter bitterness, dry finish, med bitter slight spicy hops

Mouth is lighter bod, med-higher frothy carb

Overall not bad, hops were nice, but not quite enough malt to balance or give a base, a lot more like hop tea

Pours ultra hazy, faint gold with sediment and 3/4 in ch head. Taste is lemon, lime with grapefruit zest. Light bodied, slightly bitter with moderate carbonation. Tastes like a regular ipa, although of the session variety. Could throw back several of these.
