🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 120 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

BOA, short for Bier ohne Alkohol, is Neuzelle's alcohol-free beer, first presented at Berlin's Green Week in January 2020. The brewery stresses that it contains no alcohol at all, 0.0 % rather than merely staying under the legal limit, and brews it from water, barley malt and hops only, dry-hopping it at the end. It pours light gold under a fine white head. Delicately malty and nutty on the palate with a fresh, green bitterness, it closes with zesty citrus and lightly fruity hop notes.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle malt sweetness and a distinctive nutty character, grounded by the brewery's deliberate dry-hop addition. Noble hop aromatics emerge with restraint—green, herbal, and lightly spicy notes that avoid the aggressive intensity sometimes found in hoppy beers.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and lightly malty with that characteristic nutty undertone. The palate develops a fresh, green bitterness that remains proportionate and well-mannered, never dominating.
