Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of citrus peel and floral bitterness, bread dough and water cracker, and pine tar and grass clippings with a satiny, crisp, effervescent, bone-dry medium body and an even, appealing, medium-length finish conveying notes of lemon pith and flowers, light caramel malt, and bitter herb. Crisp and refreshing, this will appeal to the drinker that misses their evening Pale Ale but does not want the alcohol.

Non Alcoholic Beer

The category of non-alcoholic beers represents a diverse range of both ales and lagers. In the US, beer ranging in alcohol from 0-0.5% may be labeled as non-alcoholic. Although hundreds of examples exist in this category, the majority of non-alcoholic beers in the US market are brewed by only a few large international breweries. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Paulaner Thomas Brau, Bitburger Drive, Birra Moretti Zero and O’Doul’s.
