The beer flows into the glass in a gleaming, sun-gold hue, capped by a magnificent head of snow-white, dense foam on its crystal-clear body. A scent of ripe grain and freshly mown grass greets the nose, enticing the palate. A taste test reveals a light-bodied beer with a fresh, bitter character. Hops and malt blend seamlessly to create a tasty whole that's robust, spicy, refreshing, and crisply bitter. Notes of sun-ripened grain meet fragrant hay, a hint of citrus peel, and a straightforward bitterness that lingers on the finish.
Sounds like a perfectly normal pilsner? It is, in a way – except that the Veldensteiner Brewery has omitted the alcohol from this creation. To accommodate abstinent people, pregnant women, health-conscious individuals, and anyone who likes to forgo alcohol for a change, the brewery has put together a small but fine selection of non-alcoholic brews. The trio of Heller, Radler, and Pilsner covers a wide range of tastes and is a good alternative to the alcoholic brews in Veldensteiner's core range.
If you have plans later, it's just lunchtime and you're already feeling thirsty for beer, or you've overindulged on the weekend, the Veldensteiner Alcohol-Free Pilsner Style is a great choice!
