This one was designed as a beer in its own right, by someone who spent years in the alcohol-free brewing world before starting Curry Smugglers. The mango is sweet and aromatic rather than syrupy, and the habanero builds gradually instead of hitting you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause there is no alcohol in it, it also does something useful with spicy food: alcohol amplifies capsaicin, so a 0% beer cools the palate down where a normal lager would turn the heat up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt as a serious beer, not an afterthought for non-drinkers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alcohol-free lager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alphonso mango, crisp dry palate, slow habanero warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440ml can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eAllergens\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains \u003cstrong\u003ebarley\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow hot is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGentle.

Steve co-founded Nirvana Brewery and spent years in the UK alcohol-free beer scene before this, and the beers are a deliberate swipe at the tired \"goes well with curry\" line that Indian lager has been sold on for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curry Smuggler Snacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64571140964729,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/6110\/7260\/files\/32-DSC_1928.jpg?v=1790100416","url":"https:\/\/greenpeareco.com\/products\/mango-mirchi-alcohol-free-lager-curry-smugglers","provider":"Green Pear Eco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
