Ghost Rider

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Pale Ale
Tap to rate

An alcohol-free pale ale built to match the hop character and body of a hazy pale. Oat malt, wheat malt and flaked barley alongside Golden Promise give it more body than its strength suggests. Galaxy and Mosaic are the hops; the first brings a punchy passionfruit aroma and a touch of bitterness. The nose is light, fruity and hoppy, like a tropical fruit salad, the palate refreshing with citrus notes, the finish clean and zesty. Drinkers describe a creamy texture and a piney edge. The stated strength is 0.5 %.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and well-rounded, with the creamy mouthfeel from oat and flaked barley providing unexpected body for its strength. Citrus notes bloom mid-palate alongside a gentle piney edge from the hop profile, while Golden Promise Malz adds subtle depth. Bitterness registers at a moderate 40 IBU, refreshing rather than lingering, with a clean mineral quality that drives the palate forward.
