Big Drop Brewing Co Leafkicker Amber Ale
This non-alcoholic amber ale evokes a crisp autumn day, artfully blending the character of an Amber Ale with specialty coffee. Infused with Square Mile Coffee Roasters Red Brick Seasonal Espresso, the nose opens with earthy fresh rain, subtle vanilla, and mellow, bright Citra hops. Despite its low alcohol content, the addition of lactose builds a creamy, textured body. Deep copper-amber with a persistent off-white foam, it offers a beautifully balanced palate of lightly toasted caramel malts, delicate dark fruit, and a soft, clean coffee roast finish that is sweet yet delightfully refreshing.
Appearance. Clear, deep copper-amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, frothy, off-white head that exhibits moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate aroma of freshly brewed espresso, offering notes of milk chocolate, stone fruit, and a whisper of vanilla. A clean, toasted caramel malt backbone underlies the coffee, accompanied by a subtle earthy and citrusy hop presence from the Citra hops.
Taste. Initial flavor presents a balanced blend of toasted caramel malts and smooth, cold-brew coffee. Medium-low bitterness provides a gentle contrast to the residual sweetness of the lactose. Flavors of milk chocolate, subtle red berry, and a hint of vanilla emerge, leading to a clean, balanced-sweet finish with a lingering, mellow coffee roast character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, remarkably textured and creamy due to the addition of lactose, which prevents the typical thinness of non-alcoholic beers. Moderate carbonation with no alcohol warmth and very low astringency.
