Limbo Riesling

Denmark·Alcohol-Free Sour
Tap to rate

A Flemish Primitive brewed without alcohol, made with Riesling juice from Mikkeller Vineyards. It belongs to Mikkeller's Limbo series, which builds on a refreshing, cider-like base beer and a traditional Flemish influence, so this is a Limbo in its alcohol-free form.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Limbo Riesling

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a delicate, fine-bubbled head that dissipates gradually, leaving wispy patches of lacing on the glass. The carbonation is visibly present but gentle, appropriate to the alcohol-free and low-IBU profile. Light catches the body without cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright Riesling fruit character—white stone fruits, green apple, and a subtle floral lift. Behind this sits a gentle funky undertone reminiscent of wild yeast fermentation, adding complexity without overwhelming. Low hop presence supports rather than dominates, allowing the cider-like base and vineyard fruit to lead.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with immediate acidity that defines the palate without harshness. The mid-palate balances vineyard fruit sweetness against the sour-tart axis, supported by a dry finish that prevents any cloying sensation. The funky, Flemish character emerges subtly beneath the fruit, creating layered complexity despite the minimal alcohol.

◑ Finish

Clean and relatively quick, the finish leaves a lingering tartness and a whisper of funky complexity on the palate. No harsh phenolics or off-notes; the aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting another sip.
