Zero

◎ Appearance

Pale golden color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass. The carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, producing a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintain good lacing through the drink. The overall presentation reads as refined and composed for the category.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean grain character—a foundation of pale Malz underscored by subtle roasted malt depth. Light floral hop notes emerge, adding a delicate herbal quality without dominating. The overall impression is soft and inviting, with no sharp edges or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is malt-forward and slightly sweet, with the roasted malt contribution adding a thin layer of caramel complexity. Mid-palate develops a soft, rounded body that belies the zero alcohol—the Malz takes center stage while hop bitterness remains restrained at 8 IBU. A faintly saline edge emerges on the close, adding subtle minerality and definition.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, with the saline note lingering just long enough to prevent flatness. A gentle, grain-based warmth fades quickly, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
