🌍 Australia · Alcohol-Free Pale Ale · One of 16 Alcohol-Free Pale Ales in hopIQ

Three American hop varieties give grapefruit and orange up front with a lighter tropical note behind, and the bitterness is pitched high enough to keep the beer from reading as thin. The body is inevitably lighter than the full strength pale ale it follows, so the malt sweetness sits closer to the surface. Pale gold, moderately carbonated, dry and clean at the close.

Aroma

Three American hop varieties dominate the nose with pronounced grapefruit and orange zest at the forefront, followed by a lighter tropical note that emerges as the beer warms.

Taste

The palate opens with assertive citrus and bright bitterness that holds the beer's structure despite the reduced alcohol content. Malt sweetness sits closer to the surface than in full-strength pale ales, yet the high pitch of bitterness prevents any perception of thinness or flatness. The finish is dry and clean, with the hops providing lasting definition.
