| Verdict | A balanced American IPA with peach, apricot and lemon, clean malt and firm hop bitterness. Fuller body and a dry, lingering finish give it a convincing shape. | Halfway Crooks' Brevet IPA is a nonalcoholic session IPA from Atlanta: citrus peel and pine on a crackery malt frame, light in body, never thin. |
