Einbecker Brauherren Alkoholfrei

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Low Alcohol
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

Straw color with a tall waxy looking white head. One simple ring of lace. Light pale malt, wort and hint of vinegar in the aroma. Light and mildly effervescent. Watery wort flavor with a light spicy/grassy/hoppy finish. This could be quite satisfying on a really warm day.

If I ever decided to quit drinking, not that I would. This would be what I would choose to drink. Definitely the best N/A that I have tried, and they pretty much invented the style. Big bready flavors, with some spicy and somewhat grassy hoppiness in every sip. Quite drinkable if I had to.

Broke out this gem to help JaBier check one of the last styles off his list. The beer is a pale yellow color with a thin and fizzy white head that disappears quickly. Minimal lacing on the glass. Mild hops aroma with a bit of grain. Light body with mildly bitter hops and grainy malt flavors. The finish is short with a grassy hops note that actually has some flavor. Nothing exciting, but actually better than a lot of the non-NA Pale Lagers out there.

Bottled. Poured clear light-medium golden with a well-retained cap of white head. The aroma was sweet with toasted grains and bready notes accented by a little grassy character.. smells like the brewing process was cut short rather than extracing the booze after the fact. The flavor was sweet again with sourdough bread and Cheerios at the core.. more bitter than expected on the edges with grassy notes, amplified by prickly carbonation.. soaked grains on the short, sweet finish. Light-bodied and rather sharp on the palate (combination of bitterness, some sourness, and carbonation).. not bad overall.

33cl bottle @ Tankstelle, Gottingen. Pours pale piss yellow with a white foam. Corny & grassy. Very mild of course. Medium bodied. Smooth. Some sweetness & notes of hops. Not that bad - actually or nearly drinkable!

Bottle. Dunno, this didn’t seem that bad to me at all. Pretty inoffensive, and tastes somewhat like beer. Pale yellow, decent head, light watery palate. Some grainy and grassy hop notes. Not terrible.

Worty, malty aroma. Thin and watery, but at least a fairly clean palate. Worty and a bit vegetable-like. Not too bad for a non alcoholic lager, but I still prefer water.
