Clausthaler Original is a non-alcoholic pilsner-style beer from Germany, bottled at 0.5%, pale gold and clear in the glass.

It leans a touch rounder and maltier than a standard pils, with a soft, bready sweetness balanced by a gentle rather than sharp hop bitterness. Carbonation is moderate and the body sits light to medium, giving it a bit more weight on the tongue than most alcohol-free lagers manage, without any heaviness creeping in.

Best served cold in a chilled glass, it works as an easy option when you want the shape of a beer without the alcohol. Drink it fresh and cold rather than letting a bottle sit around.
