Grab a Trail Pass and start a new adventure with miles of flavor. Explore the hoppy notes of citrus and pine from Amarillo® and CTZ varieties in non-alcoholic Trail Pass IPA. The silky malt body and clean hop bitterness are just what you’d expect from a world-class Sierra Nevada IPA, yet it’s less than 0.5% ABV.
With Trail Pass IPA we captured the iconic citrus and pine explosion that you expect from a Sierra Nevada IPA, all without the alcohol. Hit the trail with the hoppy aromas and let the smooth maltiness wash over your taste buds. It's like a hike through a hop forest.
“It meets all of our criteria for what we would consider a craft IPA—not necessarily even a craft non-alcoholic IPA, but a craft IPA,” says James Conery, Innovation Brewmaster at Sierra Nevada.
Trail Pass uses traditional brewing methods, not alcohol removal, to create full craft flavor below the 0.5% ABV non-alcoholic threshold.

Can from Beer Merchants. It pours clear yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, pine, clean, zingy citrus, grapefruit, orange peel, marmalade and biscuit. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, touch of bitterness, green hops, pine, grass, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, peppery spice, floral accents, cracker and toasty grains with a drying finish. Light body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent nolo, a lot better than the golden anyhow.

Can 35,5 cl. Pours an almost clear yellow with a small, white head. Sweet and perfumy hop aroma. Fairly decent body, a little sweet wort, but not too bad. A dry fruitiness with little hop flavors and next to no bitterness. Not a bad example of the style. 260624

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands and consumed at home Monday 3rd June 2024. Pours amber in colour with a-white head. The nose is mostly citrus with grapefruit and a light lemon waft, similar in the mouth. Whilst it is clear that this is a non alcoholic beer, it appears to have avoided the usual taints and flaws that characterise these beers. I like, nice light bitterness, good example of a super tricky style.

Can at home in Crumlin picked up from Craft beer Central ie. A mostly clear pale gold yellow coloured pour with a loose white cap. Aroma is sileage, cut grass, cucumber, veg, wort. Flavour is composed of crisp light grains, bready, spicy hop, cut grass mineral, chalky, crisp finish. Palate is crisp, refreshing little light. Highish carbonation. Not bad.
