Halo IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles to a wispy lace. The carbonation is evident but restrained, reflecting the beer's light body and modest alcohol content. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted alcohol-free brew.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus: pronounced pineapple and tangerine notes jump immediately from the glass. Behind the tropical fruit sits a mineral undertone that adds complexity and prevents the aroma from being one-dimensional. The barley malt provides a subtle backbone without dominating, allowing the hop character to remain the focus.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma—pineapple and citrus sweep across the palate with pleasant clarity. The mid-palate reveals the barley malt and wheat base as a light, grainy foundation that supports the bitter structure. The 60 IBU bitterness is well-integrated, dry and mineral, finishing with a pleasant hop-driven edge rather than harsh astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately dry and lingers with a mineral-edged bitterness that fades gracefully. The aftertaste maintains the hoppy character without becoming tiring, appropriate to the beer's light body and alcohol-free nature.
