Easy Dust

Elysian Brewing
United States·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

Grapefruit leads, with a touch of malt and a whisper of pine, and the body runs medium to light into a dry finish. Citra, Centennial and Amarillo give this non-alcoholic IPA its hop character at under 0.5% ABV and 25 IBU. It carries the spirit of Space Dust, the 2012 taproom experiment, into alcohol-free territory.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant grapefruit notes, characteristic of the Citra, Centennial, and Amarillo hop blend. A subtle piney undertone emerges alongside restrained malty backing, creating a balanced aromatic profile. The alcohol-free character allows the hop expression to stand without any fermentation-derived warmth or harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry brings forward pronounced grapefruit and citrus character, with a dry, clean palate progression. Mid-palate carries a light, lean body with measured bitterness and faint pine resinousness that complements rather than dominates. The malt contribution remains restrained but perceptible, providing just enough foundation to balance the hop-forward profile.

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.

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.
