Lost AF

Scotland·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Zingy citrus and herbal notes sit on savoury biscuit malts. The alcohol-free take on Lost Lager, at 0.5%, starts from a light Pilsner malt base, a delicate backbone that gives the hops a stage to shine, and Cascade is the hop on the brew sheet, with Light Munich, Cara and oats alongside. It is the latest foray into alcohol-free beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with zesty citrus notes—characteristic of Cascade hops—layered over delicate herbal undertones. Beneath these, a subtle savoury biscuit malt backbone emerges, grounded by a whisper of grain and Light Munich sweetness. The overall impression is clean and crisp, with no harsh solvent notes typical of alcohol-free beers.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and refreshing, with the Cascade hop character delivering tangy citrus flavours across the mid-palate. The savoury biscuit malt base provides structure and a subtle sweetness from the Cara malt, while the oats contribute a soft, slightly creamy texture. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, sitting comfortably in the background without dominating, allowing the hop character and malt balance to coexist.
