The malt base here is more substantial than you'd expect from the "lager" label. Pale caramel and Munich malts give it a bready, faintly toasty backbone before the dry-hopping pulls things toward citrus and pine. Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo is a hop combination you'd find in a well-made craft IPA, and it's an unusual choice for a non-alcoholic lager. It pours a rich amber. The aroma leads with grapefruit zest and pine, with the floral element coming through more gently. On the palate it's medium-light bodied with a moderate carbonation, finishing clean and dry with a faint citrus twist. It's more hop-forward than most lagers in this space, which suits drinkers who find standard non-alcoholic lagers too neutral.
