The only NA beer I’ve ever had that was both good and tasted like actual beer is Brewdog’s Punk AF. Mostly because it’s loaded with so much hops that it tastes like an IPA first and a beer second. Most other NA beers I’ve tasted had that raw grainy character that really disturbed me.
As someone who drinks a lot of beer, have to disagree. I’ve thought all theirs were just garbage, for lack of a better/more charitable term.
For something that actually approaches “real” beer taste I’ve only found Guinness and Sam Adams just the haze beers to be close (and the latter is fine, not amazing.)

Athletic Brewing makes some pretty good NA beers. I particularly like their stout, but they have two IPAs that are tasty too.

Jmho though.
That’s going to be the difference in taste buds. Normal Guinness is okay to me, but I prefer a richer stout. The NA Guinness tastes like metal to me.
The only NA beers I’ve had are Stella and Guinness, and I love both. Have you tried those?
