Tap to rate

Alcohol-free but with the full taste of beer: a finely bitter thirst quencher, bottom-fermented and brewed clear, with 0.0% ABV from 5.5% original gravity. It comes from the Franconian family brewery Leikeim in Altenkunstadt, which has been brewing since 1887, and stands for beer taste without the alcohol.

◌ Aroma

Fresh and grainy on the nose, with subtle noble hop character providing delicate herbal and spicy notes. Light bready malts form the foundation, complemented by a clean fermentation profile with no solvent or off-odors. The bouquet is restrained but well-defined, allowing the hop bitterness to signal itself gently.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry with a light, smooth malt backbone balanced by a pronounced but refined bittering character. The 22 IBUs manifest as a clean, dry bitterness that persists across the palate without harshness. Mid-palate reveals restrained bread-like sweetness from the Malz, while the finish drives toward a dry, hoppy conclusion with lingering mineral notes.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste from the noble hop character. The bitterness fades gradually, leaving a dry and refreshing residue that invites another sip.
