A clear golden lager with a soft malty body, a crisp malty flavour and a bitterness between low and medium, all without alcohol; the mouthfeel is refreshingly crisp and soft. Declared at 0% alcohol, it is the alcohol-free member of the Royal Dutch line that dates back to 1806 in Tilburg.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Royal Dutch 0.0

◎ Appearance

A clear, golden lager with bright clarity and a pale straw hue. The head forms readily and holds with moderate persistence, leaving light Schaumkleiden down the glass. Carbonation is visible and steady, contributing to a lively visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy Malz character—bread-forward and gently sweet without heaviness. A light noble hop presence adds a touch of herbal restraint beneath. Clean fermentation notes keep the profile fresh and uncluttered.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with a bready sweetness that unfolds across the mid-palate. The bitterness—low to medium at 22 IBU—arrives as a crisp, balancing accent rather than a dominant force. The finish is dry and clean, with no alcohol heat to distract from the beer's gentle structure.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers briefly with a pleasant, dry malt impression and faint herbal undertones. No alcohol burn; instead, a clean, refreshing fade.
