Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Zötler Hell alkoholfrei is the alcohol-free Helles in the year-round range, made by the cold-contact method. It is pale and bright, with a slender body, and uses a hop variety new to the brewery. A fine hop bouquet shows on pouring; the taste opens with a light malt sweetness that a delicate hop bitterness then rounds off, and the overall impression is mild. Original gravity is 7.0 %, bitterness 20 units.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, crisp malt sweetness that establishes the beer's foundation. A delicate hop bitterness arrives in the mid-palate to provide balance and definition, without assertiveness. The interplay is measured and clean, with the low alcohol content allowing full expression of both elements.
