Mönchshof Alkoholfrei Hell

🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 56 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

Mönchshof Alkoholfrei Hell arrived in early 2025 as the alcohol-free companion to the brand's mild Hell and follows the same idea: pale barley malt, a finely dosed hop addition and a balanced, soft profile. It pours clear gold with a white head. The nose shows grain, light bread dough and malt; on the palate it is mild and rounded, with a faint sweetness, a gentle hop bitterness and a light floral touch. The finish is brisk and lightly hoppy, with cereal notes and a little yeast lingering.
