How it tastes
Brioche and fine yeast aromas make it read as a proper wheat beer rather than a fitness product, even with the isotonic marketing angle front and center in Germany. At Under 0.5% ABV and 25 kcal per 100ml, it sits among the lowest-calorie options in the category.
Brewed as much for the finish line as for the bar.
- Genuine German wheat-beer character – brioche, yeast, malt sweetness
- Isotonic profile with added vitamins, a real point of difference from most NA lagers
- Only 25 calories per 100ml
- Not currently listed on Saucey in our check
- Wheat beer’s cloudy, yeasty profile will not appeal to drinkers who prefer a clean, crisp lager
Who it is for
Wheat beer fans and anyone who wants an NA beer that doubles as a post-workout isotonic drink.
