🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Pilsner · One of 11 Alcohol-Free Pilsners in hopIQ

The Herb is the drier and more bitter of the brewery's two alcohol-free pils, brewed from only 6.2 degrees Plato with 30 IBU. It shows gold to light amber under a long-lasting head. The nose brings sweet toasted notes, ripe grain, honey and bittersweet herbs, with chamomile and a touch of grated hazelnut. The first sip is fresh with a fine prickle, then hop and vermouth-like herbal notes round off a light malt sweetness, and the beer ends lean and distinctly bitter.

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min
