Wicklow Wolf Non Alcoholic IPA (0.5%) is proof that flavour doesn’t have to be sacrificed when alcohol is taken out of the equation. Brewed with the same care and creativity as the rest of Wicklow Wolf’s range, this beer offers the full hoppy experience of an IPA with only a trace of alcohol. It’s crafted using Bravo, Citra, and Idaho 7 hops, giving a bold burst of juicy citrus and tropical fruit, balanced by a light malt backbone and a crisp, bitter finish.
This is a beer designed for those who want to enjoy the flavour and refreshment of craft beer without the effects of higher alcohol content. It’s refreshing, full of character, and stands as one of the best examples of non-alcoholic brewing in Ireland today.
