Non-Alcoholic Iceberg

Tap to rate

A pale straw lager stripped down to essentials. The nose stays quiet and clean, offering only light cracker malt and a trace of sweet grain—no fanfare. On the palate, soft cereal notes arrive alongside a faint honeyed whisper, while hop character barely registers. Carbonation stays brisk throughout, keeping the beer lively despite its minimal body. The finish turns short and dry, leaving little behind. At 0.5 percent alcohol, this is alcohol-free lager that doesn't try to mimic its full-strength cousin; instead, it occupies its own territory—a thirst-quencher for occasions where sobriety matters.

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-yellow hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A modest white head forms on the pour and settles quickly, leaving only a thin collar around the glass rim. Carbonation is visibly active and sustained, generating a fine bead that rises steadily throughout the drinking experience.
