When it comes to our low-alcohol beer, we wanted to do a proper job: with heartfelt craft in each drop. You’ll taste our citrusy, tropical hops – with malty sweetness and delicate bitterness, too. This is an authentic IPA with 0.5% alcohol with all the flavour and aroma. That’s a Proper Job.

Can at home. Clear golden with white head. Crisp malts, caramel, bread crust, soft wort, light grapefruit zest, resinous hops. Under medium sweet, very light bitter. Over light bldied, crisp feel with a soft oily finish. Quite nice!

Forgot to rate this! It’s an excellent NA offering. Clean hops, no off flavours. Need to find more of this.

[50cl bottle at Chimneys (Vintage Inns), on the Wirral.] An amber pour with a billowing white head; malt aroma with some citrus; rather thin, with a biscuity malt base and a light citrus bitterness. Not bad for a low-alcohol bitter.

500ml bottle. Clear amber gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, hint of malt. Taste is citrusy, grapefruit, a little pale biscuity/nutty malt, nice hop bitterness. Medium-ish bodied for an AF beer.
While not at the top level of modern craft AF beer, it's a decent and respectable effort, especially for one in the supermarkets.

I've been hitting it a bit hard, so time for an AF night. Served well chilled it was a good pour and looked good in the glass. Plenty of hops and a hint of malt. A very good AF beer that actually tastes like beer. What's not to like?
