FreeWheeler (FW)

FreeWheeler has all the hoppy goodness of an IPA without the alc. Fully fermented just like a normal beer. Citrusy, tropical perfume and slight caramel malt are the highlights of this beer that allows you to Free Wheel home!

The process of brewing FreeWheeler is unique to BentSpoke due to the filtration process. BentSpoke uses a unique filter system from brewery equipment manufacturer DME. The filter removes all the fermented beer flavour called the retentate leaving the permeate (alcohol and water) behind. The flavour is then rehydrated with deaerated water, carbonated and is ready to package. Using this process allows BentSpoke to replicate full strength beer flavour in a non-alcohol beer.

Marion was brewed by the women of BentSpoke! It is named after Marion Mahoney Griffin who was an American architect and artist, and one of the first licensed architects in the world.  Marion along with her husband created the original plans for Canberra. She was the mind that bought her husbands architect vision of Canberra to life. 
This beer has a bold personality.  Lots of pineapple, pear, mango and citrus fruit hop aromas.  Strong body and a smooth finish.
