| Verdict | An approachable golden IPA with bright citrus, a hint of tropical fruit and gentle malt sweetness, closing clean and lightly bitter. | A crisp, hop-forward nonalcoholic Midwest IPA made through producer-confirmed arrested fermentation, with pine, resin, grapefruit, and a firmly bitter finish. |
