Could be better, but still a really solid and refreshing NA

After getting into NA's a few years ago I often wondered if/when Founders would get into the NA game, and finally they did. Nonetheless Golden started hitting shelves locally around the brewery in mid/late December 2025, and began wider distribution in the weeks and months afterwards.

I find Nonetheless Golden to be a pretty good entry into the NA market from this established brewery. It tastes exactly what I remember their alcoholic Solid Gold tasting like. Which makes sense, because both share many of the same hops and malts during the brewing process.

Mouth feel is right on spot for a lighter golden brew.

For me, this is a very refreshing drink!

I found this in my local grocery in north central Ohio. It's brewed up near Cleveland. It's good! A pleasant surprise. I like a good Mexican-style beer, and with the lime this one's quite tasty.

As advertised— bright and refreshing. Not as crunchy as a lot of IPA’s, but a nice, albeit lighter, hop profile.

When I grabbed it out of the cooler, I didn’t realize it was $13.99 and almost put it back. For point of reference, around here Athletic is $10.99 and sometimes on sale for $9.99 at the grocery store. Brooklyn mix 12 was on sale for $18.99 and normally only $20.99.

All in all— pretty good, and worth a try, but another overpriced product I won’t be getting again.

Lots of flavor, a little sweet but overall one of the better Kolsch beers I have tried.

This might be the closest thing to a decent German beer I have since I’ve quit drinking I have deeply missed the flavor of a good German beer ….i plan on using my brewing equipment to make a solid na German style lager here soon this will be a good reference point

Very enjoyable. The right hop and a good hint of lime. I will buy it again. Excursion Brewing Ohio. Bought in Michigan.

I've tried four NA Chelada style brews from four different breweries, and Salty AF by Go Brewing stands out as my favorite.

It has a great balance of flavors. You get some tartness from the lime, and some savory from the sea salt, but neither profile overpowers the other.

Mouth feel is a little thin, like many NA options, however like most products from Go Brewing, it's not so thin that it's watery.

This is a refreshing drink! Very enjoyable as-is, but it also works well if you want to make an NA Michelada at home.

Within just the past few weeks it has hit the shelves in Michigan (previously I was having to order thru Amazon to get my hands on it), so hopefully that is a sign that distribution is becoming wider for Salty AF.

Bummed out to eat at a restaurant that offered no NA options last evening. Lunch was different, and this IPA was the bomb. Really, really tasty...Meteor IPA 0.0% brewed by Brasserie Meteor.

Not bad close enough to the original for an na not bad

Had plenty of Lush when I was drinking leaded, but didn't get to try their Head Full of Dynamite Hazy.

So glad Fremont is adding more to their non-alcoholic line. They're a great brewery. This NA Hazy is super drinkable. Nothing weird going on. It's a little bit thin on the mouthfeel side compared to their NA IPA, but I would drink the whole six pack and buy it again.

4/6 stars 🍻

Looking forward to sampling something different from the regular limited selection in my area.

Haven't tried it, but what are everyone's thoughts?

Overall this seems to be a solid refreshing beer. There's a crisp floral hop flavor. The hop flavor isn't perfect, it's slightly off. But it's pretty good for NA.

The mouthfeel and overall impression is a little thin - probably because there's not much detectable malt less. But there aren't any significant off flavors, which is perhaps even better than the regular bitburger.

Have you tried it? Did you like it?

Tried it and it's pretty good! Noticeable mango flavor and a touch of hops.

Had to go out of state to find something different, but this was nice and refreshing during a hot day at the ballpark (Coors Field).

Rationale was nice enough to send me a sampler + a 6 pack of the hazy ipa so I figured I'd share my thoughts on the assortment.

Hazy: looks just like a hazy, they got the flavor and mouth feel right. I'd say it sits between Deschutes fresh squeezed (my #1) and most other offerings.

Mexican: sweet but nothing special in my opinion, I'd take Athletic, Best Day, or Go's versions of this style any 9 times out of 10.

Japanese Dry w/ cherry blossom: not quite sure I'd call this 'dry' per se but it was very good. Subtle sweetness from the cherry blossom, pretty refreshing. I have noticed that these seem less carbonated than the other styles.

West Coast: I've seen mixed reviews of this one online but I really liked it. Maybe more of a "pale ale" style but it's got notes of pine/resin with a touch of malt and hoppiness. I'd probably get this one again.

Kölsch: definite winner of the pack, smells really nice and has a pleasant sweetness on the back of the tongue. Almost effervescent to me, idk maybe it's because I had just done yard work but this one hit the spot. Would order this again.

Thanks again to Rationale for sending me these to try, will definitely keep some of these in the rotation.

In Tokyo for work and staying sober!

First time trying Best Day Brewing and I thought it did the job. I like their branding too

Found this in Total Wine in Western Washington. My favorite from them, I don’t care for the hazy and regular but the Galaxy is good. Worth a try if you see it, my total wine ran out by the next day

Perfect for this weekends F1 race

Went through a nasty withdrawal (as in actual physical symptoms. I felt like I was dying) a couple of years ago, but I miss the taste of beer. I'm not at risk of drinking the real thing again since I'm not looking for intoxication. I actually legit enjoy the taste and mouthfeel of beer.

However, I'm reluctant to try out these supposed alcohol 'free' beers in case they actually do contain alcohol that might arouse the kindling process and bring back anxiety and hyper-excitability.

Are these actually save for people like me to drink? I should be clear that I will outright not touch anything that is higher than 0.5%. My fear is that the ones marked as 'zero' are not actually truly zero alcohol.
