Dream Line Forms One SKGN started as a Patrons Project collaboration between Northern Monk and SKGN, an acclaimed hop-forward IPA that became something of an archived favourite. The AF version doesn't try to dilute the original — it works from the target outcome and builds toward it, using a hop-forward recipe designed specifically for alcohol-free production at 0.3% ABV. The pour is hazy, as you'd expect. The nose is punchy and tropical: mango, peach, and citrus zest with a layer of soft hop oils. It's more expressive than many 0.5% hazies, which is partly down to Northern Monk's AF brewing approach. The grain bill uses malted barley and oats, giving it fullness and a rounded, smooth texture in the glass. On the palate, the hop character stays front and centre — juicy tropical fruit, a thread of citrus pith, and a soft bitterness that rounds things off without sharpness. At 15 IBU and 10 EBC, the bitterness is measured. The finish is clean and fades with a residual tropical note. Available in 440ml cans, it's one of the more interesting limited AF releases from a brewery that takes non-alcoholic brewing seriously.
