Jacob Hell alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Light gold and gently sparkling, this alcohol-free Helles has a delicate spiciness. It carries no alcohol (0%) and is brewed in Bodenwöhr by the Familienbrauerei Jacob; cross-triathlon world champion Tom Kerner swears by it after training. Local spring water, Hallertau hops and the brewery's own pure-culture yeast go into the beer.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with noble-hop spiciness blooming across the mid-palate before settling into a dry, clean finish. The malt provides light body and gentle bready notes that frame rather than dominate. Bitterness at 17 IBU integrates smoothly without astringency.
