Off-Piste Pale

Campervan Brewery
United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Pale Ale
Tap to rate

Off-Piste Pale is a low-alcohol pale ale that joined the year-round range in August 2024. Talus and Idaho 7 hops provide the character, and oats are part of the grist alongside barley. The brewery describes citrus and tropical flavours, with grapefruit and lemon standing out. The body is light and the overall impression fresh and refreshing, with the hop fruit carrying a beer that has very little alcohol behind it.
