Verdict Research record A crisp, hop-forward nonalcoholic Midwest IPA made through producer-confirmed arrested fermentation, with pine, resin, grapefruit, and a firmly bitter finish. A light-bodied beer with a sweet aroma and noticeable corn character. Easy to drink, but limited flavor and a forgettable finish leave it feeling incomplete.

Sweetness Differs Research record — Sweet
Body Differs Research record — Light body
Likeness Research record Convincing IPA depth, with assertive hop bitterness supported by malt. The light body makes it easy to drink, but the limited flavor range leaves it feeling like an incomplete beer.
