Waldbier Astrein alkoholfrei

Kiesbye Naturbrauerei
Austria·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Citrus, elderflower and malt candy shape the aroma, and the beer is very easy-drinking and refreshing. The fermentation is stopped, organic lemon juice rounds it off, and a handmade extract of elderflower blossoms and spruce tips adds the wild note. A non-alcoholic Waldbier from Axel Kiesbye's nature brewery in Obertrum near Salzburg, listed as a creative beer with three special forest ingredients.

◐ Taste

The palate is clean and refreshing on entry, with the organic lemon juice providing immediate brightness and subtle tartness. Mid-palate reveals the delicate interplay between light malt sweetness and the wild herbal character from spruce and elderflower extract. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the botanical complexity to shine without harshness. The finish is crisp and supremely easy-drinking.
