Snow Pilot NA

Stevens Point Brewery
United States·Alcohol-Free Brown Ale
Tap to rate

Snow Pilot NA is the alcohol-free take on the brewery's winter nut brown ale, brewed with Maris Otter malt, Mount Hood hops and pistachio. Nutty malt and toasted biscuit lead the nose, with a soft, slightly sweet pistachio note behind. On the palate light caramel and brown bread meet the nut character in a lighter body than the full-strength beer, and the finish is short, with mild herbal hop bitterness and a faint roasted edge.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Snow Pilot NA

◎ Appearance

Deep amber-brown hue with good clarity and a fine, tan head that settles to a thin collar. The body appears lighter than a traditional brown ale, befitting its alcohol-free nature. Carbonation is present but restrained, with modest lacing on the glass.

◐ Taste

Light caramel and brown bread flavors greet the palate, supported by the persistent nut character throughout. The body is noticeably lighter than the full-strength version, allowing the subtle pistachio to integrate rather than stand apart. Mild herbal hop bitterness emerges mid-palate with a faint roasted edge.
