Flavor Profile of Funhouse (Non Alc)
The body is full and creamy due to the use of oats and wheat, while the hops are added late in the brewing process. As a result, bitterness is minimal, but the aromas are maximized. You can taste distinct notes of citrus fruit, peach, and tropical fruit, with a soft finish. The mouthfeel is round and refreshing. Funhouse proves that an NEIPA can be exciting even without alcohol.
