Krenkerup Alkoholfri Classic

Krenkerup Bryggeri
Denmark·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

A round malt character and a light sweetness make this alcohol-free lager taste like the classic it is based on. It is brewed with almost the same ingredients as the regular Classic, just a little less malt and a touch more hops. The trick lies in the brewing: a specially developed maltose-negative yeast does not turn sugar into alcohol and so keeps flavour and body, and the beer is then gently pasteurised.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with round malty sweetness and a smooth, full-bodied character that defies the alcohol-free designation. Mid-palate reveals clean lager crispness with controlled bitterness and a light hoppy accent, while the finish remains refreshing and gently sweet without any cloying aftertaste.
