By Northern Monk · UK
Northern Monk’s hazy pale, which the brewery describes as juicy and fruit-forward, with bright citrus, subtle tropical fruit and a gentle bitterness.
At 0.4% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work

Tasting notes and what to expect
Faith Alcohol Free is Northern Monk's flagship alcohol-free beer — a 0.4% ABV hazy pale ale. The recipe builds on Northern Monk's Faith pale ale (full-strength); The Grocer reported Citra Cryo and El Dorado hops when it launched in 2021, a trade listing gives Citra, El Dorado and Simcoe, and the current label lists barley and oats.
Appearance and aroma: Northern Monk describes it as light straw with a touch of haze, a small white head and minimal lacing, with cereal and water cracker notes on the nose alongside grassy citrus and subtle tropical hints.
Palate and finish: Northern Monk describes it as juicy and fruit-forward, with bright citrus, subtle tropical fruit and a gentle bitterness, and as light-bodied with soft carbonation. Drink it properly chilled; Tesco’s label says to keep it refrigerated below 5°C.
Food pairings: Excellent with spicy and rich foods that suit a juicy, fruit-forward beer — Thai curries, Korean fried chicken, tacos al pastor, soft cheeses, mango-based desserts. Also drinks well as a standalone aperitif.
How it compares: In our view it sits alongside Lucky Saint Hazy IPA, Verdant Lightbulb 0.5% and Mash Gang Chug among the better AF hazies, and is more polished than most supermarket AF hazies. See the hazy IPA hub or the Northern Monk brewery page.
