Wolters Helles Alkoholfrei

Tap to rate

Malty sweetness and a light hop note carry this alcohol-free Helles, which comes across sparkling. It has 0.0% ABV, 4.3 °P and 18 bitterness units and is brewed from water, barley malt and hops, then dealcoholised with modern methods so the character of a classic Helles stays intact. The brewery has run a new dealcoholisation plant since May 2021.

◐ Taste

Malty sweetness dominates the palate, presenting notes of bread and subtle grain. A refreshing crispness balances the sweetness on entry, while mild hop bitterness (18 IBU) provides gentle structure without harshness. The mid-palate remains smooth and approachable, with a light body that lets the malt character shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading gracefully without lingering bitterness or cloying sweetness. A gentle hop dryness leaves a mild, pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip.
