Alcohol free hazy IPA by Verzet, who is dabbling in NABLAB beers just like any other brewery in this country lately – with this one apparently being a special offering for their ‘Brigadiers’ (members of the beer club surrounding the brewery), the second one of 2024 even. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Huge, foamy, snow white, cobweb-lacing, stable head on a misty yellow-blonde robe with khaki tinge. Aroma of fresh guava, white peaches, ripe pineapple, Durondeau pear, pepino, raw cucumber, fresh dough. Crisp onset with stingy carb (too sharply so for the intended style, NABLAB or not), with some green pear, peach and guava aspects, before slipping into a smooth cereally, doughy pale maltiness carrying a huge deal of aromatic hoppiness on its back, full-on tropical with an exotically citric edge – honey pomelo, guava, pineapple all unfold as in any decent ‘alcoholic’ NEIPA. As if this is not enough, a peppery, drying hop bitterness follows, more so than is typical in NEIPA perhaps, but very pleasant. Quenching and enjoyable – but more than that, remarkably credible, this ‘imitates’ the NEIPA style very well without the alcohol; better than expected even, and had it been a bit softer in carbonation, I would even consider it the very best NABLAB-IPA I had to date.

8/III/25 - 33cl bottle as a gift, shared with Alengrin @ home, BB: 6/VIII/25, Test 01 (2025-268) Thanks to Bierridder for the bottle!
Clear pale light yellow beer, big aery to fluffy white head, pretty stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: nice, tropical fruits, juicy, lots of white peaches, guava, very nice! MF: lively carbon, light body. Taste: good bitterness, pretty watery, some citrus, a bit of sulphur, grassy, some wort. Aftertaste: citrus, grapefruit, bitter, zesty, a bit metallic, hay, dry, pretty decent for a N/A IPA!
