Faust Pils alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Pilsner
Tap to rate

Straw-like on the nose with a fine hop aroma. Slim and lightly sweet in the mouth, the sweetness sitting against the hops as a counterweight. This alcohol-free pils stays under 0.5 percent ABV at 7.8 percent original gravity. The brewery calls it isotonic and reduced in calories. Like the house pils, it comes from Miltenberg on the River Main.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Faust Pils alkoholfrei

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, clean brilliance. A fine, white head forms readily and maintains delicate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is lively and persistent, appropriate for the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctive straw and grain notes, followed by a refined noble-hop character that avoids harshness. There is a subtle sweetness in the background—a trace of malt support—that frames the dry, herbal hop profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with a slim body that showcases hop bitterness (22 IBU) balanced against a gentle, restrained sweetness. The mid-palate remains clean and refreshing, the slight malt backbone providing structure without weight. Finish resolves toward a dry, bitter conclusion with good definition.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is moderately long, with persistent hop bitterness and a drying quality that invites another sip. The reduced alcohol (0.5% ABV) contributes to the refreshing, isotonic character without leaving any cloying residue.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
