Placebo IPA
Lychee, peach and tropical fruit aromas sit on a malty base, with a fresh bitterness running through this light, blonde IPA at 0.5% ABV. The brewery says it is a good beer to drink freely, at aperitifs, with crunchy salads or comforting burgers, and that you almost forget it is alcohol-free. Its only effect, the brewery adds, is the taste.
