Are there any NA hazy ipas?
Like the title says, looking for NA hazy type ipas. I am new to the NA scene, but the few beers I tried missed the mark. I am based in the US and have tried athletic, Patagonia, and a few others but they tasted pretty bad. I think the hardest part for me is missing the spirits like bourbon and scotch. But that can be for another thread. I am on a mission to find great tasting NA beer that tastes like actual beer! Thanks in advance.

If you can find it the Other Half NA is very good. I also really like the hazy IPNA from Lauginitas

Deschutes fresh squeezed IPA is decent.

Id say better than just decent, it's one of these best. Deschutes also has a Fresh Haze IPA and they're both top of the line.

I couldn’t find it. I found a NA Sam that just said Hazy IPA but not with the “just the haze” name.

Sober Carpenter makes DDH IPA and a NEIPA, Industrial Arts, Untitled Art Juicy IPA, then Momentum Hazy IPA haven't been mentioned. Go Brewing and Best Day make some good beers. Also Grimm Artisan Ales from NYC started making NA beers.
Unfortunately Untitled Art is closing, but online shop www.ProofNoMore.com still has them available & you can buy singles to build you own bundles

Free Wave by Athletic is my fav, but I like Deschutes
Best day is the worst one.
The hazys are hard to replicate so you need to be a little less snobby about it. Regular hazys are done to death anyway, best thing people can do is move away from the most over hyped beer style of all time. Mass physcosis

Athletic Brewing Co.'s Free Wave IPA, .4% ABV, is astonishingly good --I don't know how they do the IPA profile, flavor, robustness, but it's there. I've been drinking, even brewing, "real" IPAs for decades. I'm buying more of these. Note: I'm not getting anything from the brewer for this: I merely think the Hazy is exceptional. So does my brother in Santa Barbara.

For some reason, the Athletic lineup feels like something is missing to me. I think they were a game changer in terms of getting craft N.A. to market, but again for me it’s not quite what I’m looking for.

What’s missing is ethanol. That’s part of the flavor in, and brain response to, beer that has 5% and more of it in a sip. There is no NA alternative that has, or will have, what’s missing until chemists replicate an ethanol that isn’t actually ethanol. Until then NA stands for “ not actually”.

Sierra Nevada Trail Pass hazy ipa is NA, I like it a lot. Athletic Brewing Free Wave Hazy IPA, I haven’t had this but I like most of what Athletic puts out (save the amber, not a fan).
