Kupfer Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Dark copper and brilliant under a cream-coloured head. The nose recalls freshly boiled wort in the brewhouse, with caramel and malt candy. The start is prickly; on the palate come forest honey and a touch of orange, bringing freshness against a sweetish body, then a pronounced bitterness reminiscent of orange peel. From the Kupfer range, below 0.5 % ABV at 8.8 °P.

◐ Taste

Entry is prickly and refreshing on the tongue, immediately followed by forest honey and a delicate orange note that cuts through the beer's inherent sweetness. The mid-palate shows a full-bodied, malty character balanced by a pronounced bitterness reminiscent of bitter orange peel. This dry, assertive finish provides welcome complexity in an alcohol-free format.
