NON IPA

Netherlands·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

Jopen's first low-alcohol beer: a fruity, malty IPA with a light bitter finish. A special yeast converts hardly any sugar into alcohol, and plenty of hops add flavour. Three grains, barley, wheat and oats, nod to medieval Haarlem brewing rules. Declared at 0.5% ABV, bitterness stated as 40 EBU. Top-fermented, served at 4 °C.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus and stone fruit notes, backed by a soft, rounded malty foundation that hints at the wheat and oat bill. Noble hops contribute a restrained floral and herbal complexity without dominance. A gentle fruity sweetness from the yeast suggests ripe peach and subtle grain character, balanced by the hop's crisp, resinous edge.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly malty, with wheat and oat adding a soft, grainy mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops a fruity, slightly sweet character with citrus notes that merge seamlessly with the noble hops' spicy, herbal presence. The finish builds a clean, moderately bitter bite that lingers without harshness, leaving a crisp, drying sensation that invites another sip.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste persists with a pleasant, dry bitterness and a faint citrus echo that gradually fades. Clean and refreshing, with no lingering alcohol warmth—the low ABV allows the hop and grain character to shine without fatigue.

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 fruity, malty, hoppy character as NON IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
