Non-Alcoholic Longboard is the alcohol-free counterpart to Longboard Island Lager and stays below 0.5 percent alcohol. It is brewed in Kailua-Kona with pale two-row malt and Mount Hood, Hallertau, Sterling and Millennium hops. It pours a clear pale gold. The nose is light, with fresh bread and cereal from the malt and a gentle spicy, herbal and floral hop note. The body is light and crisp, the bitterness low, and the finish clean and short.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and inviting, leading with soft notes of fresh bread and cereal grain from pale two-row malt. Beneath, a delicate layer of herbal, spicy and floral hop character emerges—the Mount Hood, Hallertau, Sterling and Millennium varieties contribute gentle noble hop aromatics without assertiveness.

◐ Taste

The palate is light and crisp, with a clean malt foundation that echoes the breadiness of the nose. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, sitting well below the threshold of aggression; hop bitterness integrates as a balancing force rather than a dominant flavor. The body remains lean throughout, offering no astringency or cloying sweetness.
