RedWillow Less is More Mosaic
By RedWillow · UK
RedWillow’s alcohol-free pale, 0.5%, packed with Mosaic hops: “Bright citrus and tropical character with a clean, elegant finish”, the Macclesfield brewery says. 30 kcal per 100ml.
At 0.5% 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

What is Less is More Mosaic?
RedWillow is an independent brewery in Macclesfield, Cheshire, founded in 2010 by Toby and Caroline McKenzie, who still own it; most of its beers have names ending in “-less”. Less is More is its alcohol-free series: this Mosaic edition, on sale since 2023, and a Helles added in 2026, which only RedWillow sells.
RedWillow calls it “This punchy, Mosaic packed, 0.5% IPA” with “Bright citrus and tropical character with a clean, elegant finish”, though its spec line files it as a pale ale. It won silver for keg non-alcoholic and low-ABV beer at SIBA’s national awards in March 2026, and gold in that category at SIBA’s North West awards in 2025, SIBA’s results show.
RedWillow’s website gives 30 kcal per 100ml, about 132 kcal a can, and says it’s vegan. We haven’t scored it yet.
