Hell Alkoholfrei

Brauerei Zirndorf
Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Light and refreshing, this alcohol-free Helles tastes finely spicy and mild, with a delicate malt note. A fine, restrained hop bitterness rounds it off, and the result is a well-balanced beer under a fine-pored foam crown, straw-blond in the glass. A special brewing process joins traditional craft with modern lightness. It continues the story of the Zirndorfer Hell, brewed with the same care, a story that began with the princely brewhouse of 1674.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a clean, refined malt character—gentle grain notes without heaviness. Noble hop spice emerges subtly, restrained and balanced, suggesting a careful selection of Edelhopfen rather than aggressive bittering additions. A whisper of bread crust completes the profile, grounded and inviting.

The palate enters light and crisp, delivering the promised malt sweetness without cloying. Mid-palate reveals finely spicy hop character that evolves into a gentle, well-integrated bitterness—22 IBU sits in perfect proportion to the beer's body. The finish is dry and clean, with no harsh alcohol heat or astringency.
