Tannenzäpfle Alkoholfrei
The alcohol-free version of Tannenzäpfle is brewed as the full pilsner and then dealcoholised with steam under vacuum, with the volatile aromas recovered and returned to the beer. It pours a radiant golden yellow with a fine, lasting head. The nose shows freshly harvested straw and a spicy, fruity note. A lightly sparkling malt accent leads, is quickly overtaken by a firm hop spice, and a fruity hop note from Tettnang hops lingers into the dry, bitter finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Tannenzäpfle Alkoholfrei
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
