What initially started as a joke inside our brewery, back in Dry January, quickly became a fun side project as we reflected on the lack of good, low alcohol beers. What if we made a beer for all those times you don’t feel like drinking a beer? What if we harnessed the levity of carbonation and the deliciousness of hops, without the booze? Was it even possible in a small brewery like ours? We asked questions, we wrote down lots of numbers, we did an experiment.

0.97%, our first ever batch of “near” beer, has beautiful hop aromatics, light fruity flavours, and a spritzy body. It’s kind of like beer, kind of not, and let’s just be honest, surprisingly delicious. Further iterations forthcoming.

What it smells like, what it tastes like: Light bodied and refreshing with perfect carbonation, this pale ale exhibits flavours and aromas of lemon, lime candy and cut grass.

For a low alcohol beer, not bad. Obviously very light, as there must be very minimal malts used.... I would describe it as "Hop Juice"

500 mL Bottle. ABV 0.97%.
Appearance: Pale gold, Less than half a finger of head, Zero retention, Lively carbonation.
Aroma: Citra hops.
Mouthfeel: Light body, Medium carbonation, Dry finish.
Flavour: Citra hops, Somewhat refreshing up front, Unpleasant finish, Not much else.
Overall: It's pretty one-dimensional. I was just curious and I won't be getting this again.
