The beer
Original Gold is the Mexican-style lager and second permanent release from Easy Does It, a Los Angeles-based nonalcoholic beer brand developed in collaboration with brewmaster Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage Brewing. Introduced in April 2026 to sit alongside the company’s flagship American lager, Original Gold adapts the classic golden cerveza template for an alcohol-free format.
According to Easy Does It’s brewing documentation, the beer is produced in California through controlled fermentation with a specialty yeast strain rather than post-fermentation dealcoholization, keeping the finished alcohol content below the 0.5% ABV legal threshold. While the brand’s original American lager uses five ingredients, Original Gold expands the grain bill to six—water, malted barley, oats, corn, hops, and yeast—incorporating corn for traditional Mexican-lager character and oats for texture. The producer’s Nutrition Facts panel for Original Gold declares 75 calories and 16 grams of carbohydrates per 12 fl oz can, though a banner on the same product page repeats the 65-calorie figure from the brand’s first lager.
One single can was purchased from NA Beer Market at $4.49 for cellar evaluation. Until that can is poured and assessed firsthand by The Dry Standard, this entry remains an unscored research profile with no sensory notes.

Research notes
The front of the can reads America's Non-Alcoholic Brew, Contains Less Than 0.5% Alc/Vol, Classic Mexican Style, Malt Beverage, 12 fl oz (355 ml), and Brewed in USA. Easy Does It states in its FAQ that its beer is brewed in California in collaboration with brewmaster Gabe Fletcher of Anchorage Brewing using real malt, hops, and a specialty yeast, with fermentation controlled to keep alcohol below 0.5% ABV. For Original Gold, the producer product page lists six ingredients—water, malted barley, oats, corn, hops, and yeast—and displays a Nutrition Facts panel declaring 75 calories, 16 g total carbohydrate, >1 g protein, 0 g fat, 0 mg sodium, and not a significant source of total or added sugars per 12 oz can. A marquee on the same page and retailer copy list 65 calories (the figure for the brand's flagship Original Brew); see discrepancies. Producer and retailer flavor descriptions remain attributed source context, not a Dry Standard tasting.
