Wingman AF

Scotland·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

Lightly fruity, tropical and a little piney. Citra, Mosaic and Talus carry the hops over Light Munich, Cara, wheat and oats at 0.5%. It is the alcohol-free Wingman: all the altitude of the maverick session IPA, none of the booze, for anyone who wants to fly steady tonight and make it to work tomorrow. Peach and pineapple flavouring is listed among the ingredients.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wingman AF

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright visual presence despite the minimal alcohol content. A white, fine-bubbled head forms readily and maintains moderate lacing around the glass. Carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating consistent effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive tropical stone fruit—ripe peach and pineapple from the added flavouring blend seamlessly with the hop character. Citra, Mosaic and Talus hops deliver bright citrus and subtle pine notes that sit atop a light, bready malt foundation. The overall impression is refreshing and inviting without alcohol's warming influence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth tropical sweetness before the 60 IBU hop bitterness asserts itself cleanly across the mid-palate. Light Munich, Cara and wheat malts provide a soft, grainy sweetness that balances the resinous pine and citrus bite without becoming cloying. The finish transitions dry, with lingering herbal and piney edges that define the sessionable character.

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.
