Tap to rate

Oettinger Alkoholfrei is a filtered, bright golden draught-strength beer below 0.5 percent that the brewery describes as finely bitter, both hoppy and malty, with a firm head. The nose brings pale malt, fresh wort, grain and grass; the palate is slim and mildly malty with hints of wheat bread and a light sweetness, and the finish turns to grassy hops and a touch of lemon.

The palate enters slim and mildly malty, with a gentle wheat bread character that anchors the beer. Mid-palate reveals light sweetness and a balanced hop bitterness that builds gradually. The profile remains crisp and refreshing without heaviness, the bitterness clean rather than aggressive.
