Understanding Zero & Alcohol-Free Beer
The category now includes lager, wheat, IPA-style and darker options. Production methods differ, so body, sweetness, bitterness and aroma can vary significantly.
What to notice
Compare malt character, hop aroma, bitterness, body, sweetness and finish just as you would with other beer styles.
