Germany·Alcohol-Free Pilsner
Tap to rate

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.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

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.
