Cloudwater Brew Co

Fresh is an alcohol-free American IPA that successfully captures the sensory depth of a standard-strength New England IPA. It opens with an intense hop-forward bouquet of tropical mango and bright citrus zest, underpinned by a restrained, clean maltiness. The palate is defined by punchy stone fruit flavors and a firm, refreshing bitterness that ensures a dry, crisp finish. Despite its 0.5% ABV, it maintains a remarkably smooth and medium-bodied mouthfeel, avoiding the watery texture common in the category. The result is a vibrant, aromatic experience that highlights the brewer’s focus on high-impact hop delivery and balanced composition.

Appearance. Medium gold with a persistent, thick white head; displays a significant, uniform haze consistent with its design to mimic a New England-style profile.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of tropical fruit, specifically mango and passionfruit, alongside bright citrus zest and a hint of resinous pine. Malt character is low and neutral, presenting as light cracker, with a very clean fermentation profile and no detectable alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is of punchy tropical fruit and sweet citrus. High hop flavor persists through the mid-palate with notes of grapefruit and stone fruit. Bitterness is moderate-high, providing structure and balance against the soft, grainy maltiness. The finish is clean and medium-dry, with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, rounded texture that avoids being thin. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. There is no perceived alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
