Sober Carpenter Non-Alcoholic IPA Beer - 16oz

Not my first exposure to the NA beer scene, but my first tasting in some time. Right up front I'll say the this is a very well structured ale with a beautiful white head which produces a fine lacework down the sides of the glass as it's consumed. The color is medium gold and is just slightly hazy. Not a lot of either malt or hop aroma, but absolutely no funky smells either. The flavor is definitely on the bitter side of balanced, with only a slight bit of malt noted. With 42 IBU, it's about what I expected. Easy drinking it finishes cleanly and has excellent mouthfeel. This beer reminds me of Rogue Brewing's Brutal Bitter but without the malt backbone that beer has. Initially bought a four pack of 16 oz. cans, and have since ordered more. IMO, it's a good beer.

NA beers just keep getting better and better and this is the best I have tried so far.

I honestly rate it above a number of regular IPAs I have tried and have found myself wondering if they are cheating somehow and actually putting alcohol in there. But based on how good I feel in the morning after having several, I don’t think so!

Sober Carpenter is one of my favorite n/a beers. Good hoppy taste. It’s a must try, if you’re into n/a beer.

This is a good NA option for beer lovers. Just the perfect amount of hops
