Wildling Hazy NEIPA

A 0.0% hazy NEIPA from Bristol's Wiper and True, brewed with experimental Peacharine and Strata hops for a fruit-heavy hit of peach, nectarine and tropical berry.

About This Drink

Peacharine is a New Zealand experimental hop variety grown specifically for stone-fruit character, and Strata brings its jelly-sweet, passion fruit-leaning aromatics. Together they give Wildling an unusually specific fruit focus — sun-warmed peach and nectarine up front, with a softer layer of strawberry and tropical fruit behind it. The grain bill of barley, wheat, spelt and oats gives the body a hazy, pillowy weight that carries those hop oils well. At 0.0% this is about as fruit-forward as AF beer gets. Wiper and True use the same dealcoholisation process they apply to Kaleidoscope and Tomorrow — the base beer is brewed to full strength first, then the alcohol is removed, preserving more aroma than a low-ABV brew-from-scratch approach would. The result sits closer to the hazy pale ale territory than a full-weight NEIPA, but the hop aroma is genuinely vivid. Wildling appears to have been a limited or seasonal release rather than a permanent line. It has not been available on the Wiper and True website for some time, though it occasionally surfaces through AF specialist retailers.
