🌍 Canada · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 19 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

A non-alcoholic lager at 0.5 percent, pouring clear pale gold under a fluffy white head. Light malt sweetness sits at the centre, reading as bread crust with a touch of honey, and a subtle hop bitterness closes it out. The body is slender and the carbonation snappy, so the finish stays clean and dry rather than syrupy. A grainy note and a faint herbal edge linger briefly.
