Fresh

Tap to rate

Zesty orange and succulent peach meet passion fruit, mango and zesty citrus in the aroma, then sweet pineapple, tangerine and grapefruit follow, balanced by a soft, piney bitterness at the back. A pillowy body and a savoury finish make it feel stronger than its 0.5%. This alcohol-free IPA pours hazy straw with a white head and gentle carbonation.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Fresh

◎ Appearance

Fresh pours hazy straw in color, with a white head that settles to a delicate foam collar. The haziness comes through distinctly, a result of suspended yeast and proteins that contribute to its characterful presentation. Gentle carbonation produces fine, persistent bubbles that lend the beer a soft and inviting appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes of orange and tangerine, followed immediately by succulent stone fruit—particularly ripe peach—and tropical accents of mango and passion fruit. These bright, zesty characteristics sit atop a gentle piney backdrop, contributing herbal depth without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. The overall impression is refreshing and aromatic, with no harsh alcohol notes despite the beer's negligible ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with sweet pineapple and citrus notes that are bright and crisp on entry. Mid-palate reveals layers of tangerine and grapefruit, balanced by a soft, piney bitterness that lingers without sharpness. The pillowy body provides substance and mouthfeel that belie the minimal alcohol content, making this feel more complete than expected.

◑ Finish

The finish is savoury and dry, with a lingering piney character that extends pleasantly without becoming astringent. Despite its low ABV, the beer leaves an impression of depth and balance that suggests far greater strength.

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.

About Alcohol-Free IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Alcohol-Free IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Alcohol-Free IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, peach, hazy character as Fresh will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
