Without Gold

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Pale Ale
Tap to rate

A golden beer with a slightly sweet malt flavour and subtle citrus. It contains no alcohol at all, 0.0 %, and comes from the Without range that a Suffolk craft brewery set up beside its traditional cask and bottled ales. It is brewed in Suffolk with water from the brewery's own borehole, filtered through chalk, and sold in eight-packs of 500 ml bottles.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Without Gold

◎ Appearance

Without Gold presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity, the result of careful filtration through the brewery's chalk-filtered borehole water. A modest white head forms and dissipates steadily, leaving light traces of lacing on the glass. Carbonation is visible and well-integrated, supporting the overall visual impression of a polished, sessionable pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt sweetness—characteristic of pale malt without aggressive grain notes. Subtle citrus notes emerge from the Edelhopfen, adding a gentle brightness without dominating. The overall aromatic profile remains restrained and inviting, befitting an alcohol-free ale where delicacy takes precedence over assertiveness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a pleasantly sweet malt foundation, offering good body for a non-alcoholic beer. A measured hop bitterness (40 IBU) arrives mid-palate, balancing the residual sweetness and providing structure. The finish transitions through light citrus notes before settling into a crisp, dry conclusion that feels refreshing rather than thin.
