Whiplash Never Drinking Again
By Whiplash · Ireland
A 0.5% hazy IPA from Dublin’s Whiplash: “A beautifully hazy, unfiltered orange-juice-like IPA”, with New Zealand hops giving “a juicy tropical hit of gooseberry, mango, and apricot”, the brewer says.
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 Never Drinking Again?
