Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 120 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

A bottom-fermented pale beer that is fully matured before the alcohol is gently removed, which leaves it at 0.0 percent while keeping the character of a conventional lager rather than the sweetness of an arrested fermentation. It pours pale gold and clear. The aroma is led by bready, grainy malt with a light floral hop note, the body is light and lively with brisk carbonation, and a restrained, clean bitterness keeps the finish short and dry.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp on the palate with a smooth malt foundation. The mid-palate develops modest body with grainy sweetness balanced by brisk carbonation. A restrained, clean bitterness emerges mid-palate and carries through, preventing any residual sweetness from dominating.
