Pilsner Zero Alcohol by Sainsbury’s

Don’t be put off by the funky “let’s pretend it’s not an own-brand” labelling – this is a lovely, light, finely foaming, thoroughly refreshing own-brand pilsner from Sainsbury’s. Though brewed in France, it has all the qualities of a classic Belgian blond beer, a lovely pale gold colour and and foamy white head, a zesty mouthfeel with a fabulous biscuity bite reminiscent of the best light pils, a dry almost apply crispness in the cheeks and throat that, served well-chilled, makes for a supremely refreshing drink any day of the year, whatever the weather. Overall, while the flavour might lack some of the depth of a craft beer, that’s more than compensated by the bite and freshness. A great beer to keep piled up on ice at a party for those looking to quaff the hours away without any consequences.
