Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale by Lagunitas TREAT — score 45/90.

Alcohol is the primary health concern here. It's a clean-brewed 7.5% ABV wheat ale, but ethanol is empty calories and a Group 1 carcinogen, so this is an indulgence at best.

Why this verdict

• Alcohol (7.5% ABV) is the primary health concern, not the ingredients
• Ethanol is empty calories and a Group 1 carcinogen
• Simple, clean brew (just barley malt and wheat) — no artificial additives
• An indulgence, like dessert — fine occasionally, never healthful

Ingredients (3)

• Alcohol (ethanol, 7.5% ABV) (harmful) — The dominant factor. Empty calories, burdens the liver, and a recognized Group 1 carcinogen even at moderate intake.
• Barley malt (safe) — A whole grain that provides the fermentable sugars and the beer's body. Fine in itself, but contributes gluten and carbs.
• wheat (moderate) — Adds the silky body; contains gluten. A simple, recognizable grain.
