Beer with everything except alcohol. Big tropical aroma and a smooth bitterness defy logic in this non-alcoholic Pale Ale.

(Bottle) Slightly hazy amber with no head. Gentle citrus aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Thin taste but pleasant - citrus start with gentle hoppy finish. Very acceptable for zero alcohol.

[33cl can at a restaurant in Wangamata.] Remarkably similar to the Sawmill Hazy IPA I had yesterday, showing just how much non-alcoholic beer has come along recently, The main differences being less head retention, and a slightly more watery mouth feel. Otherwise a tasty pale ale with lots of tropical fruit and a gentle bitterness.
