Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A pale golden hue with a brilliant clarity, topped with a frothy, long-lasting white head. The carbonation is lively, giving the beer a sparkling appearance.
- Aroma: The aroma presents fresh fruity notes reminiscent of apple and pear, balanced with hints of malty sweetness and mild hops. There's a light breadiness that rounds out the bouquet.
- Flavour: On the palate, Brugse Zot Sportzot delivers a surprisingly robust flavour for a non-alcoholic beer. The malt sweetness is at the forefront, with a delicate balance of hops providing bitterness. You'll also notice citrus undertones and a hint of spice, which enhance the beer's refreshing character.
- Mouthfeel: Light-bodied with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel is smooth and crisp, making it a refreshing drink that goes down easily without lingering heaviness.
