82/100

The short take
Peach and tropical fruit lead a soft, juicy hazy IPA. Moderate bitterness and light malt sit under the fruit, and the close dries into a fruity hop. The bitterness never takes the glass.

In the glass

Nose: Peach and tropical fruit, stated plainly. Peach is the one you can name. The tropical fruit is broader, ripe, and just as forward. That pair is the whole aroma.
Palate: Soft and juicy, with moderate bitterness and light malt. The fruit from the aroma carries into a soft middle. Bitterness is present and stays moderate, enough to mark the beer as an IPA and not enough to dry the middle out. Malt is light, under the fruit, not a sweet base. The mouth is juicy rather than thick. Balance is fruit and softness first, bitterness underneath, malt in support.
Finish: Dry, with a fruity hop. The juiciness lets go. Peach and tropical fruit remain in a lighter key, and the hop is what dries the close. It stays fruity, and it does not turn sharp.

Bitterness: Moderate bitterness

How beer-like is it?

Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.

The aroma is the hazy IPA: peach and tropical fruit, with the hop waiting. The middle is soft and juicy, the malt stays light, and a dry fruity hop finish is what makes it beer rather than juice.

The beer

The close dries, and the hop that stays is fruity. That ending is what keeps the beer from drinking like juice, and it is worth starting there, because the rest of the glass is soft and juicy.

Peach and tropical fruit are the aroma, and they are easy to separate. The fruit announces the style on its own, before bitterness has said anything.

The middle is soft and juicy. Moderate bitterness runs under the fruit, enough to give it a line to sit on and not enough to take the pour. Weight is not asked for. Softness is the texture, and the juiciness is where the beer actually lives.

Then the close does the other job. The juiciness lets go, peach and tropical fruit remain in a lighter key, and the hop dries the end without turning sharp. Fruit first, a juicy middle, a dry fruity hop close. The shape holds because the bitterness is measured. Fruit does more of the talking than the malt, which is why the glass still reads as a hazy IPA while the middle stays soft.

82 is typical of the 13 dealcoholized IPA bottles we've tasted.

Research notes

The bottom of the can, read 2026-09-29, says non-alcoholic brew and contains less than 0.5% alc/vol, 12 fl oz (355 ml). The back says malt beverage with hops. The script under the brewery name reads non-alcoholic craft brew. That last line is not a method. The side also promises a full body and rich mouthfeel. That is can copy, not the tasting. Serving facts are pointed at gobrewing.com/facts and are not printed on the can. Nontaxable under section 5051 is the tax line next to the alcohol claim, not a process. Vibe Coder is not in Go Brewing’s live product catalog, and the product handles checked on gobrewing.com returned 404 on 2026-09-25. That house line is not the source for this can. Another Go beer states a process that rules dealcoholization out. That sentence is not copied here. That is not a manufacturer pack of this beer.
