◐ Taste

Entry presents bright citrus character that builds into a pronounced but controlled hop bitterness across the mid-palate. The 60 IBU profile registers as assertive without harshness, underpinned by light malt sweetness that prevents the beer from becoming austere. Crisp acidity enhances the drinkability.

◑ Finish

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

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 citrusy, hoppy, crisp character as N.A. IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
