Citra and Mosaic do exactly what they're supposed to — big citrus, ripe tropical fruit, just enough piney backbone — and then the bitterness pulls back to a clean, satisfying finish. Deschutes nailed the hop character on this one. It doesn't taste like a compromise; it tastes like a well-made IPA that happens to have no alcohol in it.

Awards: Gold Medal, 2024 U.S. Open Beer Championship — Non-Alcoholic IPA
Key ingredients: Water, malted barley (2-row, Munich, Crystal), Citra hops, Mosaic hops
Good to know: Brewed and de-alcoholized by Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon — one of the country's most respected craft breweries. Contains barley. Available as a single can or 6-pack.
How to enjoy: Serve cold in an IPA glass to let the aromatics open up. Pairs with spicy food, grilled chicken, sharp cheddar, or anything you'd normally reach for an IPA with. The hop presence holds its own with bold flavors.
Swizzle's Take: Fresh Squeezed is the one we hand IPA lovers first — it's the closest NA translation of a real West Coast IPA we've found, and the awards back it up.
