Bio Freies Gold

Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Robustly spicy, rich in aroma and feinherb: three organic hop varieties from the Bentele family in Tettnang shape this hazy alcohol-free beer (under 0.5 %), and dry hopping in the lagering tank brings their aromas forward. Craft-brewed, fermented with a special beer yeast, matured for a long time and never dealcoholised; the barley comes from more than 20 organic farms in Upper Swabia.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bio Freies Gold

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse brilliance from suspended yeast particles. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin, delicate collar with modest lacing. Fine carbonation supports the cloudiness, creating an inviting, unfiltered presentation characteristic of naturally fermented beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with spiced noble hops—Tettnang's signature floral and herbal notes emerge clearly. Dry-hopping in the lagering tank brings forward a crisp, aromatic intensity with hints of white pepper and light herbal tea. A clean malt foundation supports without dominating, letting the three organic hop varieties command the sensory profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and refined, with immediate hop spice and a subtle herbal bite. The mid-palate carries a dry, feinherb quality—balancing 22 IBU of noble-hop bitterness against restrained malt sweetness. No alcohol heat or flatness; the beer drinks with character and structure despite its sub-0.5% ABV, finishing with a lingering hoppy dryness.
