Kaineken IPA

A 0.5% IPA from Estonian craft brewery Õllenaut, hopped assertively with grapefruit and pine character. Hazy amber, 55 IBU.

About This Drink

Kaineken IPA is the boldest beer in Õllenaut's non-alcoholic lineup, brewed at the brewery's base in Saku, Estonia. Like the rest of the Kaineken range, it uses a low-alcohol yeast strain designed to ferment at low ABV from the start, rather than removing alcohol after brewing. The result tends to be more hop-forward than heat-treated alternatives. It pours hazy amber with a lasting off-white head. The aroma is generous: ripe grapefruit and mango up front, with a resinous pine note and faint biscuit malt underneath. On the palate it is lively and assertively bitter, with juicy citrus peel and stone fruit over a smooth, light malt backbone. At 55 IBU it is one of the hoppier non-alcoholic IPAs around. The finish is long, dry, and resinous. There is not much to fault here. It does not taste watered down and the bitterness is genuine. A good option if you drink IPAs for the hop character rather than the alcohol.
