Run Wild IPA is a well-crafted, highly enjoyable take on an American IPA. Athletic Brewing clearly put in the work on this one, and it pays off.
Can Art
Athletic Brewing sticks to their usual minimalist design, but this one stands out. The turquoise and navy mountains with yellow highlights create a striking, outdoorsy look that fits the name perfectly.
Look
A great golden hue with a nice head that lingers. Lacing is minimal, but overall, it looks the part of a classic IPA.
Smell
Here we go! This is going to be good. The aroma does exactly what it should—bright hops, fresh, inviting. My tongue is smiling (do tongues smile?) in anticipation of the first sip.
Mouthfeel
Absolutely solid. Well-balanced carbonation, smooth texture, and just the right weight for an IPA. No complaints here—this beer nails the style.
Taste
Really great hop flavor, well-balanced, with just a faint touch of raw wort—which is actually impressive considering how clean the rest of the profile is. You can tell this was brewed with care. Athletic absolutely understands what an IPA should taste like.
Final Verdict
Wow, I drank the whole thing while writing this review—that almost never happens. A class act through and through. If you’re looking for a well-executed NA IPA, this one fits the bill.
