🌍 Germany · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 120 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

A non-alcoholic dark beer with less than 0.5 % ABV, brewed from barley malt, unfiltered and naturally cloudy; it joined the range at the start of 2026. The brewery describes a full-bodied beer with pronounced malt character, in which caramel nuances and fine roasted aromas give depth and structure, carried by a round body and a balanced, harmonious feel. It sums it up as full and malty: a classic dark profile in alcohol-free form.

Deep amber-brown hue with natural cloudiness from the unfiltered brewing process. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good retention, clinging to the glass in a fine lace. Carbonation is gentle and consistent, appropriate to the style's restrained alcohol character.
