Non Alk

Netherlands·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

A White IPA with just 0.3% alcohol and a tropical profile. Barley, wheat and oat malts meet a generous dose of hops and a new yeast. The name goes to the alk, a black-and-white seabird that looks a bit like a penguin and uses its short wings as fins when swimming underwater, but is less suited to flying.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Non Alk

◎ Appearance

A pale golden brew with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with notable Schaumhaftung. The light straw hue (SRM 8) sits between wheat and pale ale territory, lending an inviting brightness to the glass. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—pineapple and passionfruit notes dominate, backed by a crisp herbal-citrus character from the generous Edelhopfen charge. Wheat and oat malts contribute a subtle, soft grain sweetness without heaviness, while the yeast adds a clean, neutral backdrop that allows the hops to shine.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced tropical and citrus fruit flavors that carry through the mid-palate with bracing hop bitterness (60 IBU) providing structure without harshness. The wheat and oat malt base delivers a delicate, crumbly sweetness and mouthfeel, while the crisp finish prevents any cloying character. Bitterness lingers pleasantly, dry and herbal.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
