NA Beer Review: Lagunitas IPNA

I am going to start posting tasting notes and reviews of non-alcoholic beers. My wife has been my drinking buddy for 32 years. Her recent medical issues has caused her to first move to gluten-free beer and a year ago she was forced to remove alcohol from her diet. So we have been trying the different NA beer options.

Today I picked up the Lagunitas IPNA beer. She loves IPAs and hops. The beer pours like a typical Lagunitas IPA with a gold color and a minimal head. The aroma is odd…there is an off aroma where I figured there would be a strong hop aroma. The flavor was also off…not as hoppy as I thought and there is an aftertaste that I cannot pinpoint. I is also a little thin. Overall I was very disappointed but my wife liked it.

I would give it a 2.5 out of 5 for NA IPA style.
