🌍 United States · Alcohol-Free Pale Ale · One of 34 Alcohol-Free Pale Ales in hopIQ

A non-alcoholic blonde ale modelled on Mexican beach lagers, added to the Trail Pass line in late 2024. It is brewed with a small amount of lime and a pinch of sea salt. The glass shows clear pale gold under a quickly fading head. Lime leads in both nose and flavour, fresh rather than tart, over grainy, lightly bready malt with a faint corn-like sweetness. The salt rounds the body and adds a mineral touch; the finish is dry, brisk and short.

◌ Aroma

Lime dominates the nose—fresh and citrus-forward rather than tart or acidic. Behind it lies a gentle grainy maltiness with subtle bread notes and a whisper of corn-like sweetness. The mineral sea salt character adds a faint savory undertone that lifts the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Lime leads on entry, carrying the fresh citrus character into the mid-palate with a lightly bready, grain-driven malt foundation. Sea salt rounds the body and imparts a subtle mineral quality that prevents flatness. The 35 IBU contribute measured bitterness that balances the malt without dominating, maintaining a lean, clean profile throughout.
