Gabby Romero<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nI\u2019ll be honest: any time I see a beer, alcoholic or otherwise, with added fruit flavor, it makes me nervous. Too often, that kind of thing ends up tasting artificial or overly sweet, like it\u2019s masking the bitter flavor of the hops. But that\u2019s not what happened here.<\/p>\n
The Cold Pressed Lime features bright, aromatic citrus notes, but the lime reads more like the natural oil from the rind than straight juice. It reminds me of expressing a citrus peel over a cocktail instead of squeezing in a wedge. It still tastes like beer, just a little fresher.<\/p>\n
But Nectarine Juniper takes the crown as my favorite drink of the entire weekend. Compared to the zesty citrus notes of the lime version, this one is more floral and delicate. And when you add in the herbaceous juniper and its base recipe, every sip was the ideal balance, fresh, fruity, and bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n

You get the familiar taste of beer, the fun fruit flavors you find in hard seltzers, and the clearheadedness that comes with skipping the alcohol altogether. They kept me feeling refreshed in the middle of the desert, and they are exactly the kind of thing I\u2019d bring to a summer party for my alcohol-free friends\u2014and, honestly, for myself too.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
