About This Beer
Hopfully Kickback Extra Pale Ale is a vibrant, easy-drinking gluten free craft beer from one of Ireland’s most progressive breweries. At 4.3% ABV, this extra pale ale is perfect for casual sessions, sunny afternoons, or simply when you want a beer that balances punchy flavour with effortless drinkability.
Gluten free (tested to less than 20ppm) and fully vegan friendly, Kickback appeals to a wide range of drinkers while delivering a refreshingly crisp, citrus-forward profile. A great introduction to the lighter side of Irish craft beer, it still holds its own with a clean finish and a subtle malt backbone.
