Steinlager Alcohol Free

New Zealand·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

A light malt character and a touch of bitterness define this alcohol-free Steinlager at 0.0% ABV. While most no and low beers are filtered and heated to remove the alcohol, Steinlager ferments this one at close to zero degrees, against 9 to 13 degrees for a typical lager, so the cold keeps alcohol from forming in the first place.

◐ Taste

Light malt sweetness anchors the palate on entry, with bready, cereal-like flavors developing in the mid-section. Moderate bitterness from the 22 IBUs arrives cleanly and finishes dry without harshness. The profile remains refreshingly lean throughout, never cloying or heavy.
