United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Pale Ale
Tap to rate

Loris is Brew York's low-alcohol pale ale at 0.5%, added to the Signature Range in 2023. It is brewed like the other pale ales of the house, with adjustments that keep the alcohol low. El Dorado, Citra and Mosaic hops give an intense tropical and citrus aroma, followed by a crisp, refreshing bitterness that does not linger. The beer is hazy and juicy with a soft mouthfeel, made with barley, wheat and oats, and sold in cans and on keg.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright tropical fruit notes—mango and passionfruit—layered with clean citrus character from El Dorado, Citra and Mosaic hops. A subtle grainy sweetness from the barley and wheat base provides gentle support without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and vibrant, with no harsh alcohol notes despite the 0.5% ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with the wheat and oat blend creating a silky mouthfeel that belies the beer's low strength. Mid-palate delivers tropical and citrus flavors in harmony with a crisp, clean bitterness that sits at 40 IBU—present but never aggressive or lingering. The finish remains dry and refreshing, allowing the hop character to shine without astringency.
