Drink review – Trial Pass IPA is a great non-alcoholic beer with perfect carbonation and a unique combination of hops. If you are looking for a beer that will give you a refreshing bittersweet mouthful then this is a must-try.
Last month I tried out Sierra Nevada’s Golden pale ale and to be honest I wasn’t the greatest fan; I found it “a bit too watery, lacked body” so there was some trepidation when I poured myself a glass of non-alcoholic Trial Pass IPA.
American based brewery Sierra Nevada has been producing beers for decades and now has four different non-alcoholic drinks including the aforementioned pale ale, a sparkling hop-infused concoction and the Trail Pass IPA I tried today.
Unlike other brwers Sierra Nevada do not full strength beers and then remove the alcohol, no, they only products beers that do not go over the 0.5% ABV threshold. They use a combination of Amarillo®, Bravo™, CTZ, Magnum and Cascade hops to create that unforgettable IPA experience.
So the question is will this be better than the Golden ale and get a deserved place on My Dry Bar? Well, you’ll just need to read my review below to find out.
Is Non-alcoholic Sierra Nevada IPA any good?
Taste
As mentioned above I had low expectations when I tried this alcohol-free beer but those fears were unwarranted. This is actually a great non-alcoholic IPA beer. The combination of hops used in its brewing means you are given a refreshing bittersweet mouthful. Trail Pass IPA also has a much better body than the golden ale and it feels like you are drinking a full strength beer.
Aroma & Appearance
You get some classic IPA hoppy aromas when you crack open a can of Sierra Nevada. As you can in the glass this beer pourswith a light amber colour and large frothy head.
