Schnaitl Alkoholfrei

Schnaitl
Austria·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Spicy with fine honey notes on the nose; on the palate beery-spicy with biscuit notes and delicately spicy malt, held by a light, balanced hop bitterness. Full-bodied and lightly sparkling, it finishes rounded and hop-bitter. A bottom-fermented beer brewed on an export-beer base, from which the alcohol is removed in a particularly gentle process so that the original beer character stays round in flavour.
