This non-alcoholic interpretation of an American IPA showcases a vibrant hop profile driven by Citra and Citra Cryo. The sensory experience opens with an intense bouquet of grapefruit, lime zest, and tropical mango, characteristic of the Pacific Northwest style. A lean malt backbone of 2-Row Pale and Carapils provides a clean, crackery foundation that allows the hops to remain the primary focus without excessive sweetness. Despite the absence of alcohol, it maintains a crisp, refreshing character with a firm, resinous bitterness that lingers on a dry, citrus-forward finish, delivering the classic profile of a well-crafted American IPA.
