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

The alcohol-free counterpart to the Premium Pils is fully fermented and then dealcoholised to 0.0 percent, starting from 8.8 degrees Plato with 23 IBU. It pours radiant gold with a stable, white, fine head. Hop blossom leads the nose, joined by light caramel and a fresh grassy note. On the palate a lively carbonation meets a gentle malt sweetness and a hint of citrus from the hops, framed by a pleasant bitterness, while some of the sweetness lingers after the finish.
