IPNA

Tap to rate

A piney, dank bolt of Citra, Mosaic and Columbus hops, cushioned by caramel notes from English crystal malt and Canadian two-row barley, crisp and full-bodied. It uses the same ingredients as the brewery's IPA but is pulled before the flavors mature, which keeps it clean. Over a year of testing went into it.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent piney and dank hop character from Citra, Mosaic, and Columbus, grounding the profile in resinous, earthy notes. Beneath lies a subtle caramel sweetness from English crystal malt and Canadian two-row, adding warmth without dominating. The overall impression is clean and fresh, with no fermentation artifacts or oxidation.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and full-bodied, with pronounced hop bitterness and piney, slightly citrus-forward flavor balancing the malt's caramel undertones. The mid-palate sustains bitterness and dankness throughout, with a clean, dry character that avoids any cloying sweetness. Finish remains hoppy and resinous, with lingering bitterness that defines the IPA identity despite the low alcohol.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long and lingering, with persistent resinous bitterness and hop character that extends cleanly without harshness. No alcohol warmth interferes, allowing the hop profile to carry through to a dry, refreshing conclusion.

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 piney, dank, full-bodied character as IPNA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
