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.
