Best Day Brewing
Convincing Märzen character, with toasted malt and bread crust held in balance by light sweetness and gentle bitterness. The flavor is right, and it stays somewhat restrained.

78/100
Recognizably mimosa-like and easy to drink, with carbonation helping the sweet orange along. The fruit lacks freshness and natural character, while limited complexity keeps the score at.
77/100
Pleasant enough, but muted and simple. The rounded texture is agreeable, not a fault; low flavor intensity, muted aromatic expression and limited persistence keep it from standing out. 77/100 — drinkable, but underpowered.
87/100
One of the more convincing nonalcoholic Chardonnays, with real persistence and a fuller, more vinous character. The buttery profile and lingering warmth give it genuine Chardonnay personality rather than simply tasting like a Chardonnay-inspired beverage.
Karl Hill’s personal selection
91/100
A powerful, expressive Pinot Noir with dark red fruit, pronounced tannin, and an unusually persistent finish. The frame is still thin, but the wine has aroma, depth, and enough structure to make the compromise feel worthwhile.
87/100
Brioche and baked apple over a fine mousse, with more mid-palate weight than most dealcoholized sparklings. The toast stays on the finish.
Worth knowing
The label 0.0% tells you almost nothing. Dealcoholized, alternative, naturally low alcohol, and hybrid are different histories.
