Tap to rate

The alcohol-free counterpart of the flagship, sold in Canada as Sapporo 0.0% Alcohol Free. It pours clear golden with a white head. Gentle malt sweetness and soft grain lead the nose, with a faint floral hop note in the background. The palate is light-bodied with mild cereal flavour, a touch of sweetness and a clean, neutral character, closing with a dry, crisp snap and light bitterness.
