Buxton - Axed IPA
This is the AF version of the Derbyshire brewery's Axe Edge IPA, coming in at just 0.5% ABV. It is vegan, but not GF - the ingredients on the 440ml can are given as barley, oats, wheat and hops. It is also available on draught (at least in Buxton!). Axed has a clean, citrus aroma and the body is lightly carbonated. Tastewise there are (naturally) citrus notes (grapefruit and tangerine in the main) as well as a softer stone fruit background. It is a well hoppy IPA and has a good bitter finish. Clean and refreshing, I'd happily wield more of this beer.
