Pabst Blue Ribbon Non-Alcoholic

Tap to rate

Pabst Blue Ribbon Non-Alcoholic is the alcohol-free version of the group's flagship lager. It pours a bright, pale gold under a fine white head. The nose is soft and grainy, with a light corn sweetness and only a whisper of hop; the palate is light-bodied and refreshing, with a delicate malt character, a touch of cereal and only a mild hop bitterness, and the finish stays clean, dry and easy-drinking, without a noticeable residual sweetness or a heavy body.
