Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopped 0,0%

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively and visible, creating a steady stream of small bubbles from bottom to glass. The lacing remains visible between sips, suggesting a well-structured body despite the absence of alcohol.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes from the dry Amarillo hop addition, displaying grapefruit and lemon zest characteristics. Behind the citrus, subtle herbal and floral hop aromatics emerge, grounded by a clean malt base that provides light, grainy undertones. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no solvent or off-notes typical of some alcohol-free beers.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with immediate citrus flavors that mirror the aromatic promise. The mid-palate shows a dry, bitter character from the 40 IBU contribution, balancing the light malt sweetness and preventing any cloying sensation. The finish remains clean and hoppy, with lingering citrus and a gentle bitterness that frames the palate without astringency.
