Zero Hero

Tap to rate

An alcohol-free IPA with plenty of flavour: a gentle bitterness and a beautiful fruity aroma, with tropical fruit and lime from the Cryo hops Krush and Motueka. Light, so it does not weigh you down, yet it tastes like a proper IPA. Top-fermented from Pilsner malt and oat flakes, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright clarity, characteristic of its light Pilsner malt base and oat adjunct. The head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Vibrant carbonation animates the body, creating an inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive tropical fruit notes—pineapple and passionfruit—driven by the Cryo Krush and Motueka hops. A pronounced lime zest cuts through the fruit, complemented by subtle floral undertones from the noble hop character. Pilsner malt provides a clean, bready backdrop without any yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with immediate tropical fruit flavor mirroring the aroma. Mid-palate reveals a gentle, well-integrated bitterness (25 IBU) that doesn't overpower, while the oat contribution adds softness and a touch of cereal sweetness. The citrus and hoppy character persist throughout without heaviness.

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.
