🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 60 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

Introduced in March 2024, the Alkoholfrei Hell was the first addition to the Augustiner range in 38 years. It is derived from the Lagerbier Hell, brewed to an original gravity of 7.2 °P and kept below 0.5 % alcohol. The colour is a bright straw yellow under a compact, fine-bubbled head. The nose is fresh, the first sip lively, and the flavour pairs a delicate malt note of grain and light bread with a restrained, flowery hop touch. The character stays mild, with a hint of grain sweetness.
