Tap to rate

Wicküler Pilsener 0,0% is the alcohol-free counterpart to the brand's pilsner, made from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract, with carbon dioxide from fermentation listed as a further ingredient. It pours a bright golden yellow with fine, steady bubbles. The palate opens with a pleasantly bitter, crisp freshness balanced by a delicate bready malt note, settling between sweet and dry rather than leaning either way. Light grain and a gentle herbal edge carry through to a clean, short finish.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a pleasantly bitter, crisp freshness that anchors the beer without overwhelming. A delicate bready malt note provides balance, positioning the beer between sweet and dry without commitment to either pole. The mid-palate maintains lightness and clarity, with a gentle herbal edge carrying through to prevent flatness or blandness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and short, as expected from the style, with no lingering sweetness or astringency. A faint herbal whisper and dry grain note fade quickly, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

What is a Alcohol-Free Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
