In the glass

  1. Appearance

    Deep gold to amber beneath an off-white head with a light tan tone.

  2. Nose

    Bright citrus and pine lead, with resinous hop notes and subtle floral accents adding a softer edge to the aroma.

  3. Palate

    Citrus moves into pine and resin over a smooth malt backbone. Enough body and gentle malt sweetness balance the pronounced hop bitterness, though the overall intensity is restrained for the double IPA designation.

  4. Finish

    Citrus and pine persist, with lingering hop bitterness extending the flavors. The bitterness stays in balance and does not overwhelm the close.

How beer-like is it?

Citrus, resinous pine and sustained bitterness give it a convincing West Coast IPA character, though its depth and intensity fall short of double IPA expectations.

Structure

  • High bitterness
  • Long finish
  • Rounded

The beer

Double IPA sets a high expectation for depth and intensity, and NA(very) Ending Story falls a little short on both. There is still plenty to enjoy in its West Coast character: bright citrus, resinous pine and pronounced bitterness, supported by a smooth malt base. The hops are satisfying without making the whole beer feel unbalanced.

Gentle malt sweetness does useful work here. Together with enough body, it gives the citrus-to-pine progression a rounded foundation and keeps the bitterness in proportion. The beer pours deep gold to amber beneath an off-white head with a light tan tone. Citrus and pine lead the aroma, with subtle floral accents providing a softer edge around the resinous hops.

The finish gives those hops time to linger. Citrus and pine persist alongside a bitter edge that extends their flavors without overwhelming them. That sustained close is a strength, and the malt support keeps the bitterness balanced through the sip. It is an enjoyable West Coast-style IPA whose strengths are hop flavor, balance and persistence; greater depth and intensity would make its double IPA billing more persuasive.

Research notes

The exact can identifies a 12 fl oz non-alcoholic malt beverage containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. It names Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra hops and lists water, barley, hops and yeast. An older retailer page gave 0.48% ABV; the physical package controls the canonical qualifier.
