Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline describes hoppier non-alcohol beers "ranging from Pale Ales to IPA" that "should showcase a prominent hop presence emblematic of hop-forward pale ale to India Pale Ale profiles," under the non-alcohol cap of less than 0.5% ABV. A four hop NA IPA under 0.5% fits that description.

Gaps

Research Notes

  • Every spec comes from the brewery's beer page. Its hop line says "Nelson" while its description says "Nelson Sauvin"; the full name is used.
  • The abv field is null because the brewery gives only an upper bound; the ibu field is null because the brewery lists IBU as N/A.
  • No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd listing gives N/A IBU and 0.5% ABV against the existing brewery less than 0.5% bound. No measured alcohol value was established, so ABV remains null; the alcoholic Conehead's 49 IBU was excluded.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's Conehead Zero sell sheet repeats the page text and says less than 0.5% alcohol by volume; it gives no IBU, yeast or gravity.
  • Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 8 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
  • Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site; retailer listing repeating brewery copy; trade press): found nothing new; 8 pages tried. Nothing new; the brewery lists malts as Canada Maltage Superior Pilsner, Weyermann Vienna and oats (profile already has the generic forms). The Seven Days process description (alcohol removed, re-dry-hopped, pasteurized) is for Rescue Club, a different beer, so it is not recorded. Second round: launch press, Beer Marketer's Insights teaser and Seven Days coverage give no Conehead Zero process, yeast, IBU or gravity; the process described there belongs to Rescue Club.
