Zötler Gold alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Zötler Gold alkoholfrei is the alcohol-free counterpart to the brewery's Export, produced by the cold-contact method. A fine hop bouquet is noticeable as soon as it is poured. On the palate a light malt sweetness comes first and is then rounded off by a spicy bitterness, which at 22 units sits slightly above that of the regular Gold. It is served on draught as well as bottled in the brewery's home region.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light malt sweetness that provides a gentle, approachable entry. This malt foundation is quickly balanced and then edged by a spicy, herbal bitterness that arrives with slightly greater prominence than the brewery's regular Gold—22 IBU delivers a perceptible bite without aggression. The finish is dry and crisp, with bitterness lingering pleasantly.
