RationAle Non-Alcoholic West Coast IPA Craft Beer - 6 Pack 12oz Cans | Award-Winning Craft Na West Coast IPA, Full-Bodied Hoppy Flavor, Crisp Finish, Low Calorie, Zero-Alcohol

I have only been into NA beers for about a year and change. And the main reason I got into them was RationAle. It just tastes better than the other ones, especially, IMHO, Athletic. The Mexican won me over. It tastes just as good as a Corona. I was trying to cut back on beer in general, simply because I am north of 50 now. But I get tired of water and sometimes, I just want a beer! Tasty, light, easy-drinking Mexican Cerveza has opened up tons of "beer occasions" for me. Eg, after cutting the lawn, at dinner on a weeknight, at weekday happy your (I try to drink only on weekends, generally), in the hot tub, after a workout, in front of a weeknight ballgame. Fewer calories, no booze, and great taste. Easy win. I don't know how they do it but it tastes like legit beer, not the watered down crap I've tasted in the past.The West Coast IPA also tastes really good, almost as good as a real IPA. Full disclosure, I don't love really hoppy IPAs, so when I go IPA, I tend to do lighter Session styles anyway. So this is a perfect fit for me, and to date, the best tasting NA IPA I've tried. (The Hazy is just as good, IMHO). I choose the IPAs if I want to feel a little more "elevated" or "sophisticated". Like I'd choose it maybe at a nicer weekday dinner or happy hour, just to feel like I am a little fancier. Every once in a while I also just feel like a hoppier beer, so then I chose the IPA. I keep more Mexican in my fridge in general, but I keep at least 6 IPAs at all times, too.The Kolsch is new and I like it too. It also fits into my "easy drinking" game. Personally, I just prefer The Mexican to the Kolsch, but some friends are the reverse. They are both light and versatile, so I keep both around for the same occasions I mentioned above.I am really glad I got Into the NA game. Game changer, life changer.ps- just so I don't seem like a total homer....I like stouts a lot and I find the Guinness Stout NA is really good. I am hoping the RationAle tries a stout soon too!pss- this is a fun gift to send to people. In this case, I sent this 12 pack to my brother.

First time trying this and I was thoroughly impressed. All the options were very good and reminded me of the flagship versions of what they’re emulating with the four styles of beers.

Nice variety, one is hearty. I enjoyed all the flavors

I'm surprised and impressed at the experience of this variety pack. I have tried NA beers that I could find in my local stores and been pretty disappointed - they always seem to taste like nothing.Reviews by variety:Mexican- At first, I thought this had no taste. But I found, to my delight, that about 10 seconds after swallowing, a truly wonderful aftertaste flooded my mouth, reminding me more of an Irish red than a Mexican beer. This lovely after-flavour lasts and lasts, and I found myself reaching for a sip only when it faded so it would start again. I do believe this is my favourite NA beer I've tried so far, from any brand.Japanese- I was expecting a Sapporo clone here, but it was nothing like that. Herbaceous, complex, and fascinating, this one felt like a special beer you drink when you're looking to have an experience that makes you think. I wouldn't have this one every day, but I'd definitely have it on a relaxing weekend. Probably my second-favourite NA beer I've ever tried, from any brand. Just a delight.Kölsch- This one was a bit underwhelming to me. It has a nice soft mouthfeel, but any taste was brief and kind of evanesced on the tongue immediately. There didn't seem to be much meaningful aftertaste, either, to keep me coming back. I could take or leave this one - it's not offensive in any way - but I'll probably not reach for it again.West Coast IPA- Full disclosure, I am NOT an IPA person, so I'm the wrong market for this. However, I enjoyed this variety, because the bitterness wasn't so overstated as I feel it often is with IPAs. I though this one had a nice balance of bitter and malty notes. It's probably the only "IPA" I could see myself drinking again. I also found the creamy mouthfeel very pleasant with every sip.All in all, I would highly recommend this pack to someone like me, experimenting with NA beers for the first time. Of all the variety packs I have tried thus far, this is the one I believe most people would be likely to find at least one formulation that you would like.I wish I could leave 4.5 stars. The Mexican and the Japanese are both already in my cart to buy again.Wish I knew if I was supposed to say the brand name "Rationale" or "Ration... ALE"!

Not horrible, but not really a West Coast IPA, IMO. It probably didn't help that the bottling date was 5 mounts ago. IPAs are always best fresh.

Great taste, one of the better non- acholic beers I have tried.

Good taste

This is great beer! No watered down, N/A taste. It tastes like any mexican beer, and is great with lime!
