🌍 Australia · Alcohol-Free Pale Ale · One of 14 Alcohol-Free Pale Ales in hopIQ

Low Key was the brewery's first alcohol-free beer and has stayed in the permanent range since. It pours a light yellow-gold with a soft haze. Citra carries the hop side, joined by additions of pineapple and mango: the aroma runs to pineapple, candied mango and a sweet-sour fruit-candy note, with fleshy orange and lime coming through on the palate. Below half a percent the body stays light, and the finish is short, tart and clean rather than sweet.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Low Key

light yellow-goldsoft hazedelicate head

Aroma

The nose leads with bright pineapple and candied mango, lifted by Citra's characteristic citrus oils. A sweet-sour fruit-candy note weaves through, with fleshy orange and lime adding dimension and keeping the profile from becoming cloying. The hop character remains forward without aggression, supported by a gentle underlying Malz foundation.

Taste

Entry is clean and fruit-driven, with tropical pineapple and orange settling onto the palate. The mid-palate reveals lime tartness and a fleshy stone-fruit quality that prevents any residual sweetness from dominating. Body remains light and refreshing throughout, with hop bitterness present but never harsh or overstated.
