Lagunitas INPA Non-Alcoholic IPA, like most non-alcoholic beers, weighs in at less than 0.5% ABV. This beer is widely available. I picked this up from my local Whole Foods. This beer pours a bronze/gold goalie with a one-and-a-half-finger white head. The aroma is peppery, grassy, and with light fruit notes. The taste is peppery, light on hop flavor, bitter, and clean. The mouthfeel is light. This beer then finishes with a light hop note and has nothing to offer in the way of aftertaste, other than a light peppery hop flavor. This IPA was somewhat okay. I give this Lagunitas IPNA a D. I found no off-putting flavors on this. I just found it lacking the IPA flavors that Lagunitas is known for. Would I recommend it? I can’t say because I’ve only had two non-alcoholic beers. But I would eventually have this again. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This beer, Run Wild IPA, is the first beer in a series of non-alcoholic beers. This IPA comes from Athletic Brewing Co in Stratford, Connecticut. All Athletic Brewing Co. beers are non-alcoholic or are less than 0.5% ABV. This beer has Citra & Mosaic hops. This IPA also has organic US & German malts. This IPA pours an off-yellow color with a two-finger white head. The aroma is light citrus (barely any citrus), and a bitterness that has gone off. The flavor is light, citrus, and an off bitterness. This flavor is bad. The mouthfeel is light and terrible. Then it finishes with a harshbitterness. Then you get no aftertaste. That is odd. Overall this was terrible. I give this an F. I would not drink this, nor would I recommend it. This beer barely tastes like an IPA. It tastes more like a slightly hoppy lager and bad lager that is hoppy. I can’t find anything positive here other than it is non-alcoholic and low in carbs and calories. I almost wanted to pour it out. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers and happy New Year!
