This particular non-alcoholic Chinese lager offers delicately malty notes and a light citrus flavor that makes it eminently drinkable either for people who abstain from alcohol or are looking to mix in booze-free beers as an alternative. “With the launch of Tsingtao 0.0, we are tapping into consumers who are reaching for non-alcoholic drinks in their bid to lower their caloric intake," noted Steve Hauser, the CEO and president over at [Paulaner USA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weizen-radler), the licensed importer of Tsingtao.
