Brooklyn Special Effects Hoppy Amber
A hoppy non-alcoholic brew with peeled grapefruit, zesty hop aromas, and a clean bitter edge.

Brooklyn Special Effects Hoppy Amber is built to feel like a regular beer without the alcohol. Brooklyn Brewery uses a fermentation method that develops beer character first, then layers in generous dry hopping for lively hop notes and a clean finish.
The profile leans away from sweetness and toward a firmer, more beer-like shape. Peeled grapefruit and fresh hop aroma give it lift, while the bitter edge keeps the amber base from feeling soft.
