Kirkstall - Tropicous

473mL | Fruited Sour

An alcohol-free hazy IPA packed with juicy mango, guava, and pink grapefruit.

Get ready for an absolute tropical fruit bomb that refuses to compromise on true craft beer character. Kirkstall Tropicous is a beautifully executed, alcohol-free hazy IPA engineered for craft beer purists who demand full hop complexity without the alcohol drag. Brewed by the small-batch specialists at Kirkstall, this modern hazy IPA leaves heavy sugars behind to focus entirely on an all-star lineup of cutting-edge hop varieties.

It delivers the exact soft mouthfeel, pillowy haze, and structural hop bitterness of a premium, full-strength New England IPA. It is a masterclass in modern hop architecture—crisp, complex, and deeply refreshing.

Juicy mango, exotic guava, sharp pink grapefruit, and a crisp, medal-worthy hazy hop finish under 0.5% ABV.

TASTING NOTES

The Appearance: A gorgeous, thick, sun-kissed opaque haze with a dense, frothy white head that maintains exceptional lacing down the glass.

The Aroma: Intensely tropical and high-toned. The moment you pop the cap, the air fills with an immediate wave of ripe mango pulp, exotic guava juice, and a vibrant, zesty slap of pink grapefruit rind.

The Palate: A flawless tropical journey. It enters the tongue with a soft, velvety wheat-and-oat body, carrying a massive rush of sweet tropical stone fruits. Mid-palate, a highly deliberate citrus acidity cuts through to keep the beer lively, crisp, and fluid.

The Finish: Clean, dry, and beautifully balanced. It closes out with a subtle, resinous pine-and-citrus hop bitterness that neatly cleanses the palate and leaves a mouth-watering fruit finish.

PAIRS WITH

The Hop Architecture

  • Citra Hops: The undisputed king of modern IPAs, providing a powerful, foundational blast of juicy mango and bright tropical citrus oils.
  • Krush Hops: A cutting-edge, newly named hop variety that amps up the stone fruit dimensions, injecting deep layers of peach and passionfruit.
  • Talus Hops: Adds a sophisticated, multi-layered edge, delivering unmistakable notes of pink grapefruit, dried rose petals, and a faint hint of clean pine resin.

Pro-Tip: Want to experience this alcohol-free hazy IPA like a professional cicerone (beer sommelier)? Let the glass sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes after pouring it straight from the fridge. As a hazy IPA warms up just a few degrees from ice-cold, the essential oils from the Talus and Krush hops truly begin to bloom, unleashing a massive secondary wave of pink grapefruit and floral aromatics that text-only descriptions can't do justice.
