Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, hailing from Chico, California, has been a trailblazer in the craft beer world since the 1980s. Known for their iconic Pale Ale and adventurous IPA offerings, Sierra Nevada has recently dipped a toe into the non-alcoholic beer world, much like a kid launching a Hot Wheels car off a homemade ramp and hoping for the best. With their new Trail Pass IPA, they’re revving up for a different kind of journey.
This week, we are drinking Trail Pass IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. This golden, clear brew hits the scent center with a bold whiff of dank hops, promising a hoppy adventure ahead. Its appearance mirrors the crisp clarity of a sunlit forest path, inviting you to crack the tab and let the ride begin.
The flavor doesn’t disappoint. Trail Pass IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company delivers a well-balanced mix of hops with a citrusy twist, as if a grapefruit peeled out and left tire tracks on your tongue. The thick, coating mouthfeel gives each sip a satisfying weight, making it more than just a light alternative.
Untappd gives Trail Pass IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company a 3.4 out of 5. I’m rating it a 3.8 because Sierra Nevada clearly knows their way around an IPA, even when the alcohol’s on a permanent pit stop. If you’re a hop lover looking for a new non-alcoholic option, give it a spin and see if it makes your taste buds do donuts in delight.
