🌍 Mexico · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 87 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

Modelo 0% Dorada is the pale half of the non-alcoholic Modelo line launched in Mexico in May 2025. According to the brewery, a dedicated yeast carries the fermentation through completely, and the finished beer contains 0.4 percent alcohol. It pours a bright blonde. The flavour is balanced and fresh, with a light hoppy lift in the aroma, subtle sweet notes towards the finish and a low bitterness of 10 IBU, which keeps the profile gentle and easy.
