Tap to rate

Herb (bitter) is the brewery's own word for this alcohol-free Hemelinger, which it describes as 100 % Pils. The beer arrived in 2024 as 0,fast nix, with just a hint of alcohol, and in mid-2026 the name became 0,0 for a beer with no alcohol at all. The pitch: full beer enjoyment, billed as an absolute zero.

AI-generated sensory profile for 0,0

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and maintains fine Schaumkleiden around the glass. Despite the absence of alcohol, the beer presents a refined, composed visual profile typical of the Pilsner style.

Noble-hop character dominates the nose, showing restrained herbal and spicy notes without aggressive bitterness. A subtle Malz undertone provides light grain sweetness and balance. The overall aroma is crisp and clean, with good hop definition and no off-notes typical of alcohol-free brewing.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with pronounced hop bitterness (22 IBU) asserting itself clearly on the palate. Mid-palate offers dry, clean Malz character without cloying sweetness, allowing bitter compounds to shine. The finish remains bone-dry and herb-driven, with lingering hop bitterness that defines the beer's character.

◑ Finish

Lingering dry finish with persistent noble-hop bitterness that carries through the aftertaste. No residual sweetness or alcohol warmth; the beer concludes cleanly and refreshingly.

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.

About Alcohol-Free Pilsner

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Alcohol-Free Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.

Finding a similar Alcohol-Free Pilsner
