Riverwest Stein NA

United States·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

The non-alcoholic take on Lakefront's flagship keeps a medium-light body and a dash of caramel malt that a crisp, near-lager finish quickly curbs. Two-row pale, 8°L and 45°L caramel malts and roasted barley meet Wisconsin Magnum, Mt. Hood and Cascade hops. Under 0.5% ABV at 24 IBU, amber in colour, and brewed as the alcohol-free sibling of Riverwest Stein.

◌ Aroma

Gentle malt-forward nose with soft caramel and bread crust notes rising from the two-row and caramel base. Noble hops—Magnum, Mt. Hood, and Cascade—add a whisper of herbal and citrus undertone without dominating, creating a balanced and approachable bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with light malt sweetness from caramel character establishing the front palate. Mid-palate remains refreshingly dry as 24 IBU of noble hop bitterness curbs any residual sweetness, leading to a straightforward, quenching finish with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish
