The Heineken 0.0 Ultimate is a new non-alcoholic brew that contains zero alcohol, zero calories, and zero sugar. At the same time, the beverage claims to deliver a great taste that is suitable for social and active occasions.
The Heineken 0.0 Ultimate's elimination of calories and sugar addresses the preferences of individuals who are mindful of their intake but still want a premium, flavorful drink that fits seamlessly into moments like post-workout gatherings, daytime outings, or any situation where alcohol is not desired. Heineken relies on a double-brewing process to remove alcohol and preserve a balanced taste with soft fruity notes and a malty body.
About the product launch, Maggie Timoney, CEO of HEINEKEN USA, said: "Now, we're raising the bar again. Heineken® 0.0 Ultimate is our answer for the consumer who wants even more choice: world-class taste, zero alcohol, zero sugar, and zero calories, so you never have to compromise."
