Never Drinking Again

◎ Appearance

Never Drinking Again presents a luminous, hazy pale golden colour reminiscent of fresh orange juice. The unfiltered body is suspended with fine particulates, creating a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of its style. A modest white head forms with gentle carbonation and displays steady retention and lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is intensely aromatic, driven by New Zealand Edelhopfen that deliver prominent notes of gooseberry and stone fruit—apricot and peach dominate. Supporting citrus notes of orange zest add brightness and lift, while a subtle, clean malt foundation remains understated, allowing the hop character to lead without any astringency.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy, tropical hop profile: gooseberry and mango take centre stage, backed by ripe apricot and a gentle citrus undertone. The body is full and creamy for its ABV, with a soft, natural texture and a restrained, balanced bitterness that frames the fruity notes without harshness. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving no alcohol burn.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and relatively brief, allowing the tropical fruit notes to fade gently without lingering harshness. A faint bittersweet note persists lightly on the palate, leaving an overall impression of refresh and ease.
