Meiers Undicht

Tap to rate

Joined the house range in winter 2024/25 as the brewery's first brew with only a trace of alcohol. A special yeast ferments just the simple sugars in the wort, which leaves between 0.5 and 1.0 % ABV and keeps more body and residual sweetness than a fully fermented lager or ale would have. Drinkers compare it to an alcohol-free IPA: fruity, citrusy hop notes sit over a bready malt base, and the finish stays soft rather than thin. Available on tap at the brewpub on Aegidientorplatz.

◐ Taste

Entry brings moderate, pleasant bitterness balanced against the residual sweetness retained from the special fermentation. The mid-palate reveals breadiness and subtle cereal notes, with citrus and light stone fruit flavors weaving through. Body remains full and soft rather than thin, characteristic of this partial-ferment approach.

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
