Karmeliten Alkoholfrei

Karmeliten Brauerei
Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Alcohol-free (under 0.5%) with a nose that recalls a blooming summer meadow, fresh spice and malt. The body is lean and mildly malty, with a pleasant spiciness. Clear golden-yellow, brewed from 7.3% Stammwürze, with Hallertau hops and barley from the brewery's own fields, like the rest of the range from Straubing's oldest brewery.

◐ Taste

The palate is lean and refreshingly light, with mildly malty sweetness balanced by clean noble-hop spiciness. A subtle bready character appears mid-palate, while the modest 22 IBU bitterness finishes clean without astringency or drying sensations.
