Wiper and True - Low-alcohol Kaleidoscope Pale Ale

This 440ml can is the Bristol brewery's AF take on their flagship pale ale, with just 0.5% ABV. The recipe includes barley, wheat and oats as well as Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic hops. The beer is unfiltered and vegan. There is a bold aroma to this very lively brew - both floral and fruity. Very promising in fact. And the taste does not disappoint. Citrus and tropical fruits, a touch of sherbet and perfectly rounded out with resinous pine. The mouthfeel has a touch of zestiness and the finish has just the right amount of bite in its bitterness. It has won the Gold Medal at the 2024 World Alcohol-Free Awards as well as a 2024 Great Taste Awards star. And now it has just been (easily) awarded five stars from me.
