The key feature of these beers, of course, being low alcohol, and thus low calorie, while still aiming to maintain a flavorful beer drinking experience. So it’s interesting to see Harpoon’s latest “League” series beer-Big League IPA, a full-sized beer at 7.2% ABV. Since the calorie count isn’t listed in the press release (below), I asked about that and found out that it’s 230 calories per 12-ounce serving, right in line with other IPAs. Harpoon sent me two 16-ounce cans of Big League to sample. There’s a new definition of “making it to the big leagues” – one that involves big hops, big ABV and big additions of better-for-you ingredients: Harpoon Big League IPA. Harpoon Brewery’s newest year-round offering is a full-flavored version of its lighter, sessionable cousin Harpoon Rec. If you are keen to get your hands on a few to try, check the price on the links down below.The brewers at Harpoon took the same hazy pale ale recipe, multiplied everything by two, and created a crushable hazy IPA to help celebrate life’s big-win moments, from wrapping up a work day to conquering a new personal best while working out.īig League is brewed with a blend of Cascade, Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic hops for an extra refreshing, tropical fruit-filled sip every time. With that if you’re on the fence about this beer, don’t take my word for it read as many reviews as you like online. In this case price does not in any way reflect quality. The price point makes this a great beer to drink regularly as it can often be found for up to HALF of what other similar options go for. The way the Big Drop team have been able to craft a fruity profile that is balanced by a whopping bitterness that comes in at 42 IBU really tells me they are across the strengths, weaknesses and opportunity areas of non-alcoholic brewing. The Paradiso is my ‘second by a whisker’ beer for 2021 (edged out by the Bridge Road Free Time Pale Ale) and it really does an amazing job at bringing full depth and flavour to anybody looking to experience non-alcoholic beer without compromising flavour and enjoyment. The complexity of flavour keeps you wanting another can. This is a citrus-based brew, if you’re not one to enjoy citrus notes, maybe a few of the options mentioned down below are better suited to you. Things to Consider The traditional IPA profile is more fruity than floral and has a great finishing bitterness. If this doesn’t quite sound like your type of party, then check out the Pale Ale, IPA and XPA mega post I put together for some other options you might like here or if lager options are more your style the ultimate lager guide I put together and updated recently here. This results in a beer that sees the citrus notes and bitter finish linger and stay with you between mouthfuls. The body of the Paradiso Citra IPA is mid-level in its weight and the carbonation is just as you would expect from an IPA.
