DRINK SUMMARY
Name – Inkling
Producer – World Top Brewery
Type – non-alcoholic ale
Alcohol content – 0.5%
MyDryBar Rating – 65/100
Drink review – Overall Inkling is a tasty alcohol-free golden ale that will appeal to most beer drinkers. It would have achieved a higher score had there been a bit more body to the beer and less bitterness but it certainly wasn’t an unpleasant experience drinking this.

Inkling is a golden alcohol-free ale by Yorkshire based brewer World Top Brewery who has traditionally brewed full-strength beers from IPA’s to Porters.
I came to discover Inkling as it was part of Sober Sauce’s subscription box (see Unlucky Charms for another example of a beer I received in the box). Inkling uses a number of classic beer ingredients but goes on to remove the alcohol to create a refreshing, low alcohol beer.
So, is Inkling ale one I can recommend drinking? Well, you’ll just need to read the review below to find out.

Is Inkling ale any good?

Taste
Well, firstly I’ve got to say it’s a pretty tasty alcohol-free ale. World Top Brewery has managed to inject a number of classic ale flavours into this beer including background citrus notes with an underlying sweet contrast. The fruit tastes certainly make it refreshing but it is a little thin on the body and the level of carbonation makes it tastes quite bitter. That said overall it has some great golden ale malty flavours I enjoy so overall a decent attempt at an AF beer.

Aroma & Appearance
You get some lemon and grapefruit aromas when you flip the cap. In the glass, Inklig pours with a medium-dark amber body and a decent enough head for an alcohol-free beer.

Bonus points
Ok bonus points for a Shakesperean sounding name and interesting illustration. Inkling also gets points for being both vegan-friendly and gluten-free and free from artificial additives. The issue is it’s a hard one to track down so you’ll need to do some hunting if you fancy tasting this beer (see below).
