Beer Stomping Ground Smash Zero Pine Lime

Stomping Ground’s Smash series of sours have featured many fruits, many colours and the odd bit of inspiration from cocktails. But this Smash is different - it's the first free from alcohol. Well, it has less than 0.5 percent anyway with Smash Zero Pine Lime following the brewery’s core range non-alc Footloose Pale Ale that came out late in 2022.

If your aim is to mix juicy notes with tartness, then you can’t go wrong with pineapple and lime. The former of these brings juicy tropical notes and the latter a lot of zest, so if you picture a fancy soft drink with an extra layer of sour, your mind is in the right ballpark.
