Helles Pülleken 0,0% joined the Pülleken family in March 2026 as an alcohol-free version of the mild hell beer, marked by a blue label and blue crown cap. The ingredient list names only water, barley malt, hops and carbon dioxide from fermentation. It pours a bright, shining straw yellow. The nose is led by fine malt notes with a fresh hop character behind them. On the palate it is soft and slim; restrained, fruity hop flavours keep it fresh, and gentle malt rounds off the finish.
