Bold but never heavy, First Ride from Athletic is a non-alcoholic dark brew with layers of roasted malt, coffee, and subtle nuttiness. Medium and dark roasts bring warmth and a gentle bitterness, while a clean, dry finis.

It fits best when you want a beer that still feels adult, craft beer, or drinks for adults. Check whether the notes point toward sipping, mixing, or both.
