Meistergold Alkoholfrei is the non-alcoholic counterpart to Meistergold Spezial, a pale light beer with less than 0.5% alcohol. It is brewed from Pilsner malt with Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Opal hops, and hop extract is listed among the ingredients. Straw yellow and clear with a bright white, fine head, it smells fresh with a light, spicy malt note. The first sip is sweet, the body full, and the finish turns lightly bitter. Original gravity is 6.6 to 7.0 °P.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens fresh and clean, with a subtle spicy character from the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops. A delicate, light malt sweetness provides balance without heaviness, and there is no solvent or off-grain character despite the minimal alcohol content.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a noticeable sweetness and a full mouthfeel that belies the low alcohol. Mid-palate maintains body and gentle malt character, while the finish transitions to a lightly bitter note that provides welcome structure and prevents cloying.
