Sonoma AF

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Pale Ale
Tap to rate

Fruity and led by citrus, with citrus pith and grapefruit on the nose. This 0.5% pale ale is the alcohol-free version of Sonoma and keeps its pairing of Citra and Mosaic hops. Track made it as a session pale for beer gardens and Sunday day sessions, the post-work pint feeling without the alcohol. Instantly recognisable in flavour.
