Home brew specialist Pinter has launched Low Profile, an IPA that comes in at just 1% ABV.
It’s a classic IPA, lying low in alcohol but still standing out from the crowd with citrus, piney notes and hard-hitting hops.
The low ABV was achieved by limiting the amount of fermentable sugars available and a limited fermentation. The yeast on the Low Profile brew has also been specifically designed to limit fermentation.
Unlike Pinter’s other fresh beers that have a fermentation rate or attenuation of between 70% and 80%, the yeast used in Low Profile has an attenuation rate of only 37%.
Ralph Broadbent, chief executve of Pinter, said: “As drinking habits and attitudes toward drinking no-/low-alcohol beers continue to change, and as the pioneers of fresh beer, we wanted to use our expertise to create the world’s first low-ABV beer that can be brewed at home.
“The launch of Low Profile makes brewing and drinking low-alcohol beer more accessible, and we’re confident that we’ve delivered a low-alcohol alternative that still tastes like a quality, fresh beer.”
