Wicked Tame

Tap to rate

The non-alcoholic counterpart to the brewery's hazy IPA. Pours pale straw and cloudy, with peach, citrus and melon in the aroma and a wheat-mash note underneath. Tropical fruit carries the palate, followed by citrus peel and a grain-sweet edge on the finish. Light in body, with the hop aroma doing most of the work.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wicked Tame

◎ Appearance

Pours pale straw with pronounced cloudiness throughout the glass. The haze gives the beer a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of its hazy IPA lineage. Head retention is modest, with light lacing clinging to the glass as the beer settles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—peach and melon dominate, supported by citrus notes that add definition. Underneath lies a subtle wheat-mash character that grounds the otherwise fruit-forward profile. Hop aroma carries the presentation, doing the bulk of the aromatic work without alcohol-driven heat.

◐ Taste

Tropical fruit carries through the palate with immediate intensity, followed by a clean citrus-peel bitterness that provides structure. A grain-sweet edge emerges toward the finish, balancing the hop character without becoming cloying. Light body keeps the beer nimble, letting individual flavors register distinctly.

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 tropical, peach, hoppy character as Wicked Tame will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
