I am still working myself through the different danish IPAs my friend brought for my birthday this summer. So one of these is a non-alcoholic version and I hasitated to open that one. But obviously I saved the best for last! After a good but exercise-like dog walk I thought it was the right time, since a non-alcoholic beer after sports is a good recommendation anyways.
So hoping for the best I prepared a glass with some ice (you know - thats a must for me to really enjoy beer) and opened that bottle.
Fair amount of ice 😉
Look and feel
The liquid poured in a cloudy and orange appearance with a very soft, beautiful foam hat, that disappeared quickly. I have to extra mention the foam since this usually is more an annying thing to me while having a beer. But not in this case. With a very soft sensation on lips and tongue and a sweet taste it really pleased me!
The taste
Although I didn't expect the best experience I was totally surprised. Okay - the typical tangy beer-taste only was an idea. But. Damn - what a nice, fresh yet fruity (banana-like) aroma! My thirsty mouth really enjoyed that one! Very mild, obviously without alcohol but still a beer that deserved the name!
Fun fact: The brewery describes its own beer as "A robust, non-alcoholic IPA with a richness of sweet malt, balanced with a bitter citrus note." But I rather felt it like a banana-like sweet verion.
