NIX Premium Lager

United Kingdom·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

NIX Premium Lager is the lager half of the alcohol-free NIX range, brewed by WEST in the manner of a pilsner at 0.5 percent from barley malt, hops, yeast and water alone. The aroma is clean, with fresh-cut grass and a light herbal hop note over bready pale malt. On the palate it stays crisp and lean, with a gentle cereal sweetness in the middle and a light body. The finish is dry and pleasantly hoppy and invites the next sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, crisp Edelhopfen character, displaying herbal and slightly floral notes. A light, grainy malz base provides subtle sweetness without heaviness, allowing the hop aromatics to remain in focus. The overall impression is fresh and straightforward, with no yeast-derived esters or sulfurous notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and refreshing on the palate with a clean malt foundation providing restrained sweetness. Mid-palate develops a distinct hoppy bitterness that is dry and assertive without harshness, characteristic of traditional pilsner bitterness. The finish drives toward a pronounced dryness with lingering hop bite that rewards the palate.
