Tap to rate

Kneitinger Alkoholfrei is a fresh, finely sparkling non-alcoholic beer with a light malty sweetness under a fine-pored head. It rounds off the range of a brewery whose mother house on Arnulfsplatz goes back to 1892, when Johann Kneitinger II founded the inn there.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a smooth, light malt sweetness that enters cleanly and remains approachable throughout. A mild bitterness (22 IBU) surfaces mid-palate without harshness, balancing the residual sweetness effectively. The body is lean and refreshing, with a finely-crafted equilibrium between Malz character and gentle hop definition that supports food pairing potential.
