About Downwinder
Athletic Brewing presents Downwinder, a gose-style non-alcoholic beer that stands out for its adventurous flavor profile. This brew strikes a delicate balance between a sharp, tart finish and a subtle saltiness, masterfully complemented by coriander and lime leaf notes. Its natural effervescence and soft wheat body harmonize to create a light, crisp, and exceptionally refreshing experience. Downwinder embodies a unique combination of sour, wheat, and citrus aromas, making it a curiously tasty choice for those seeking an alternative to traditional beers.
Crafted with water, malted barley, wheat, hops, yeast, spices, and salt, Downwinder is not only flavorful but also health-conscious, containing 70 kcal, 17 g of carbohydrates, less than 1 g of protein, and no fat per serving. Originally designed to complement Athletic Brewing’s more traditional beer styles, Downwinder has evolved to become one of the brewery’s most distinctively delightful offerings.
The crisp and vibrant character of this non-alcoholic beer evokes a zest for life, making it an ideal companion for outdoor relaxation by a beach, lake, or river, enhanced by a warm breeze and the company of good friends. With its hints of lime leaf and coriander balancing the tart, mildly salty taste, Downwinder offers a unique drinking experience for those who appreciate the nuanced flavors of a well-crafted gose.
