Berliner Berg Pils Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Pilsner
Tap to rate

Pils Alkoholfrei arrived in 2022 as the non-alcoholic counterpart to the brewery's Pils. A more strongly brewed base beer has its alcohol removed afterwards by vacuum distillation, which keeps sugar low and the beer below 0.5%. The brewery calls it crisp, lively and full-bodied. Citrus and lemon lead, followed by herbs and a soft apricot note over a lightly sweet malt background; the finish stays mild, with a dry, fine bitterness. Reviewers single out its straightforward character, neither perfumed by hops nor grainy.
