We founded this company with the sole mission of creating genuine craft beers, that were also non-alcoholic. Our Hazy IPA is that mission in spades. Honeyed amber in color, it has a strong hop-forward aroma with hints of resinous pine and grapefruit. Its luscious medium body has a smooth, complex citrus flavor with a full and lively mouthfeel and a dry finish. Finally, a non-alcoholic craft beer for real craft beer drinkers.

This one pours a slightly hazy golden orange/amber, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This one smells a bit vegetal and dank, with some orange and blueberry.
This is not one of the better non-alcoholic beers that I’ve had, unfortunately. It’s bitter and extremely watery, with very little juiciness, just some stale maltiness and vegetal hop bitterness.
This is very light bodied and very watery, and fairly drinkable because it’s just so light.
This doesn’t do a good job of replacing an alcoholic IPA.

The aroma is full on American Hazy style IPA with citrus and pine hops and a notable biscuit malt backbone. The appearance is hazy gold with a small head. The taste is indistinguishable from a non NA beer with all the elements from the aroma. The palate is also equally robust for the style. Overall a superb NA beer.

Pours with an appearance similar to their kolsch, exhibiting only a slight chill haze. I get a lot of bright grapefruit citrusy notes on the nose and sip. A very mild unfermented wort/NA presence lingers. Only 53 calories!

Poured from 12oz can into a nonic pint. No date on the can that I could see.
Appearance: medium golden hue with a pretty light haze and a thick head of ivory foam atop. It's a bit clear for something called a hazy, but the head is good.
Smell: kind of a dankish citrusiness to the hops with a somewhat sweet malt underneath. Like a lot of NA IPAs, not super balanced, but in general not too bad.
Taste: sweet and a bit grainy with a bright, citrusy hop flavor. Decent enough for an NA IPA, but it doesn't really read as a hazy.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a very nice creaminess.
Overall: a perfectly cromulent NA IPA. I wouldn’t confuse it for the real thing, but it’s not a bad quaff.

A: slight haze; deep gold in color; 1 finger finely pored white head that receded to a wispy cap; nice rings of lace;
S: citrusy, but with a sour milk vibe that definitely detracts from the nose;
T: dull acidic citrus flavor;

O: as good as their kolsch is, I had way higher expectations for this;

Undated 12oz can. This was a very disappointing NA version of a hazy IPA. It was really not hazy at all, nor was the nose and palate anything like a real hazy IPA. I suspect it is next to impossible to brew a good NA NEIPA.

No can date, just a code
Pours a foamy semi creamy 1 finger head with good retention, sticky lacing, hazy peach-orange color
Nose has some hops, little citrus and fruit, a bit of a weird gym sock, some tropical dank, a little malt
Taste is a bit weird as well, some fruity hops, touch tropical notes, but more weird dank gym sock like thing going on, light herbal thing, a little chalky malt
Mouth is med bod, chalky like, higher carb
Overall a mess, not very good

From the can, it pours a hazy lighter amber color with a very nice off-white head that slowly reduces and leave lacing. The nose gets some stewed veggies, followed by the mouth getting some light bitterness with malt. A very modest lingering bitterness at the end is also present.

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled odd - like all NA beers. Sweet malty taste with citrus and an odd mustiness.
