Birell bez lepku

Tap to rate

Gluten-free Birell is brewed like the classic version, from quality water, barley processed in the brewery's own maltings and Czech hops. A special enzyme breaks down the gluten during production, so the famous taste is untouched and the beer cannot be told apart from the classic. The brand is the best-selling non-alcoholic beer in the Czech Republic.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Birell bez lepku

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that forms quickly and persists with good adhesion to the glass wall. Fine carbonation creates a gentle fizz that sustains the foam structure throughout the tasting. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of a well-executed pale lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, dominated by gentle malt character with hints of soft grain sweetness and a subtle cereal note. Noble Czech hops contribute a delicate herbal undertone without assertiveness. The gluten-removal process does not intrude on the expected lager profile; the aromatics remain fresh and straightforward.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and light-bodied, with a clean malt backbone providing mild sweetness without cloying. The mid-palate develops a slightly bready character balanced by restrained noble hop bitterness (22 IBU), creating a crisp, refreshing sensation. Finish is dry and clean, with lingering hop bite that avoids any astringency.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short and clean, fading to a subtle hoppy dryness without residual sweetness or harshness. The gluten-free formulation leaves no perceivable off-notes, maintaining the expected character of a traditional pilsner-style lager.
