There’s a really great non-alcoholic beer group on Facebook simply called “Non-Alcoholic Beer” (NAB). With 52 reviews down and another 20+ beers sitting in my fridge waiting to be reviewed, I posed the question to the NAB group: which beer should I review next? So now, I am doing these in order of their responses, even though we were visited by Untitled Art last week. Either way, let’s travel back to Waunakee, Wisconsin, and dive into this week’s tasty treat!
This week we are drinking a Juicy IPA from Untitled Art. This India Pale Ale is made in the style of a New England IPA, with a slight haze and a slight citrus sweetness, brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops. The can have another great piece of artwork on it, as all Untitled Art cans do. Let’s pop it open, shall we?
How Does It Pour?
This brew pours the way you would imagine a New England IPA would pour: a crisp white head and a dull yellow color with a slight haze to it. The aromas of citrus and hops pop out of the glass with each little bubble. Untitled Art hit the nail on the head with this display, and they were right on with their flavor, too!
How Does It Taste?
This Juicy IPA from Untitled Art hits your tongue with a slight sweetness blending with a bitter hop flavor. The main taste you get is the fruity sweet side, but the hops linger and sit on the edges of your tongue and the back of your throat, the way an IPA is supposed to. Again, props to Untitled Art on this tasty treat. Perfect execution.
Untappd gives this Juicy IPA from Untitled Art a 3.7 out of 5. Overall, I agree, but as a non-alcoholic New England IPA, I’d push it a little closer to five, definitely surpassing four, at least. At the end of the day, go get yourself some Untitled Art, man! They have some great mixed 12-packs and are constantly releasing new variations and some of the most original beers to hit the NA market. Make sure you’re only buying the NA ones, though, as Untitled Art is a high-octane brewery, too. Cheers!
