After launching a Low Alcohol Pils, Krombacher is now introducing a Non-Alcoholic Wheat Beer that comes in at less than 0.5% ABV. Like the alcoholic Krombacher Wheat Beer, this non-alcoholic beer is brewed with Hallertau hops and fresh mountain spring water, and is gently dealcoholized with the same process used for the non-alcoholic Pils. Krombacher Non-Alcoholic Wheat Beer is said to have notes that are light, hoppy and malty, as well as a fresh and banana-like aroma.
As consumers who are drawn to non-alcoholic products are not looking to get intoxicated, they are intrigued by other aspects of non-alcohol products. In the case of this Non-Alcoholic Wheat Beer, Krombacher describes that the product boasts a "full-bodied, fruity wheat flavor as well as the nutritional values make for an ideal alternative for sports."
