Full-bodied and hoppy with hints of malty caramel, Clausthaler Dry-Hopped is a beer connoisseur’s dream. As the first non-alcoholic of its kind, it brings together German craftsmanship, the world’s foremost non-alcoholic brewing technique, and Cascade Hops imported from the USA. This unique combination makes for an unmistakable citrus aftertaste and an amber beer with real character. Compared to Clausthaler Unfiltered, Clausthaler Dry Hopped has a distinctive malty character with a dark golden color.

Bottle from Waitrose, Wycombe. Light, dull amber with a lasting white head. Aroma and initial flavour is that unpleasant artificial sweetness that seems to be a given in industrial NA beers - it is tempered slightly by a hint of lemon in this instance though. However, as you drink more some digestive biscuit comes through, with plenty of dry wheat chaff and hay in the lasting, mildly bitter finish. Whilst the sickly NA sweetness lets it down, the dry finish means this is significantly better than most industrial NA lagers. I actually quite liked it by the end.

Slightly hazy, amber pour with stable white head. Aromas of (sweet) bread, yeast, some mango and sweet citrus. Taste is grapefruit, bread, malt, herbs - a bit muted, though. Overall not bad for an AF, definitely had worse.

Interesting version that you don't find in Switzerland, as usual. This one is refreshing, malty, smooth, a bit herbal, dry hop finish, a bit yeasty, sharing this beverage with Geraldo, 31.03.22, tasting it at Sevilla, east area, buying it at the carrefour, Sevilla Este.

Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare trasparente. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, erbaceo e agrumi.

Bottle. The best tasting non-alcoholic beer I’ve ever had. Actually couldn’t believe it didn’t have alcohol. Cloudy Amber in Color with a large head. Aroma was grapefruit. Taste was sweet up front, grapefruit in the middle with a slight bitter middle taste.

Can. Clear deep golden, close to amber body with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma is malty, some caramel and moderate citric fruity. Flavor is a bit like a sweet Vienna with some extra hop. Thin bodied as expected for this kind of beer and rather short in aftertaste. Relatively nice and refreshing, but I was actually hoping for some more bitterness and hop aroma as well. This ends a bit boring and I still prefer the dry hopped lager version from Chlausthaler as one of my favorite non-alcoholic alternative.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, deep amber - bordering orangey brown - with a neat and lasting, beige head leaving a pretty lacework. Sweey wort aroma with no traces of the cascade hops - sigh. Light body, sweet toffee notes and heavy wort accents. 250125
