Brains - No Brainer IPA
Brains brewery hails from Cardiff and was established in 1882. This, an IPA, is their first foray into NOLO beers - coming in at 0.5% ABV. The ingredients listed on the 330ml can are given as malted barley, wheat and hops; although which three varieties of hop are utilised is not specified. A soft, wholewheat bread aroma kicks off proceedings. On the palate No Brainer has a biscuity, caramel and malty vibe going on and is all perfectly balanced. The taste is robust but not overpowering. The body is very smooth, whilst the finish allows a citrus bite to come through. Would I buy another one? That's a no brainer.
