MadCat NEalko

Tap to rate

A non-alcoholic pale lager that the brewery says refreshes and delights the taste buds, with a full flavour. It is filtered and pasteurised and made from water, barley malts and hops. The brewery offers it in 30-litre kegs through its online shop, and with the alcohol-free IPA Macek it has a second non-alcoholic beer in the range.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean malt character, offering soft grain and subtle bready notes typical of quality pale malts. Noble hops provide a restrained, noble herbal and floral backdrop without asserting dominance. The overall impression is crisp and inviting, with no off-aromas or fermentation byproducts.

◐ Taste

On the palate, this alcohol-free lager delivers a smooth malt foundation with light bready sweetness balanced by gentle hop bitterness at 22 IBU. The body is lean yet satisfying, with good attenuation and no cloying residue. Hop spice and herbal notes emerge in the mid-palate, creating a refreshing, well-integrated whole.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and drying, with lingering hop bitterness and a subtle grain dryness that invites another sip. No alcohol warmth or flatness—a natural, refreshing conclusion.
