Tried both the lager and the hazy pale. Not impressed with either. Lager tasted like most alcohol free lagers.
The pale was better but the after taste was too strong and i felt a bit nauseous after them. Still had aftertaste despite cleaning teeth and using mouthwash the morning after. I didnt feel any noticeable relaxed feeling. Both felt like drinking flavoured water and not beer like. I couldn’t drink more than one in a session. They dont compare to Guiness zero which i can drink 3 on a night out. The IPA is the best tasting but theres this really stronng fruity aftertaste again. Shame only got two cans of this and 4 of others.
In short wont be buying again as overpriced. No relaxed feeling. IPA ok. Pale and Lager didnt enjoy one bit.
Product is marked large as ordered but unfortunately they arent sized correctly for UK. Its too tight compared to the many t-shirts I own in the large size.
Added 2 stars as offered £5 refund due to shirt not fitting
Not vegan despite impossibrew advertising as a vegan brand. Should be clearer this isnt suitable.
So let’s face it the beer is at best mediocre - Aldi and Lidl own lagers are much better, the impossibrew lager is bland and a bit sweet. The pale is hazy but not hoppy and again a pretty bland beer (big drop or lucky saint or Adams ghost ship wipe the floor). They’re not *bad* they’re just not very good and very bland.
So what about the magic ingredient? Well the cans list ashwaganda which isn’t made clear in advance. For many this helps them unwind and is an anxiety reliever. My wife uses it a lot on tablets.
BUT BE WARNED For some ashwaganda *triggers* anxiety - I’ve tried it before and it did just that: anxiety, depression, insomnia. And impossibrew has done the same. See https://www.healthline.com/health/anxiety/can-ashwagandha-cause-anxiety#quick-answer for more.
So before you buy if recommend trying ashwaganda in tablet form to see how you react.
I’m giving my intro pack to my wife to drink as it’s like cutting straight to a hangover for me.
It was nice. Refreshing but not what i wanted from beer. It just tasted a bit waterdown.
Really good value for money. Tasty lagers and ales, and I love the glass too. I will certainly buy again.
Absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best IPAs I've ever tried. The Social Blend works too. In fact, it works so well that I find myself wishing for an unleaded version for when I just want to drink a couple at lunchtime without an effect. A little dear for a can of beer but I can't stop buying it... and consuming it!
Enjoyed the beer but there are other AF IPA options that tatse equally as good at a much lower price point. I would buy again if the social blend was removed (didn't do anything for me), and the product focus was a great tasting IPA at a more competitive price.
Seeing all the FB ads for this beer I eventually decided to give it a try.
I am a regular IPA drinker and this one is close, but not quite the same. Still, a refreshing, though expensive alternative.
I have to say, I felt no effects from the 'Social Blend' at all.
… way too expensive.
I’ve tried the Pale Ale and the IPA. Both are good - particularly the IPA. I’m not sure I feel anything much from the “social blend” after drinking 2 or 3 cans but that’s not hugely important. The best feature is the absence of the horrid aftertaste that usually comes with low alcohol beers. Well done Impossibrew. Now it’s time to get real and significantly lower the price. I really do want to drink less alcohol at home and I love ale. But I can’t continue to pay significantly more than I do for real, fully taxed ale.
I am an IPA drinker. I can do lager if it's v cold, and the pale ale is ok, but the IPA should be a baseline offering. The lack of alcohol is noticeable, so adding the stronger flavour makes it a drink in its own class!
