Paderborner Alkoholfrei
A fully fermented pils with an original gravity of 11.6 % is the starting point here; the alcohol is removed afterwards. What remains is strong golden yellow and crystal clear with a creamy, fine head and the smell of a pilsener. On the palate it is lively and lean, with a light malt note and very little sweetness. The bitterness is gentle but distinct and carries through the finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Paderborner Alkoholfrei
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
