Tap to rate

Feinherb and alcohol-free: Hohenfelder's non-alcoholic Pils delivers full Pils flavour. It has 30 % fewer calories than the Hohenfelder Pilsener, and the brewery calls it an isotonic thirst quencher. It comes from Langenberg in Westphalia, home of Hohenfelder, where the Schütze family has run the brewery since 1911.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pilsener Alkoholfrei

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent transparency and bright clarity. A fine, delicate head forms quickly and settles to a thin collar with modest lacing. Lively carbonation creates a continuous stream of fine bubbles throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

Clean and straightforward on the nose, with restrained noble hop character providing a light herbal and slightly floral note. Subtle grainy malt undertones remain soft and recessive. The overall impression is dry and crisp, with no yeast esters or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a lean, crisp entry with moderate bitterness (22 IBU) balanced by light malt sweetness. Mid-palate remains dry and refreshing, with noble hop bitterness asserting itself without aggression. The reduced caloric content does not detract from the characteristic Pilsner profile.

◑ Finish

Quick, clean finish with lingering dry hop bite. The aftertaste remains pleasantly bitter and mineral-like, inviting the next sip.

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.

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.
