About Warsteiner

Warsteiner is one of Germany’s oldest privately owned breweries, dating back to the 1700s. Still operated by the Cramer family (now in its ninth generation), the brewery is based in the Bavarian town of Warstein. Known primarily for its Warsteiner Premium Beer, the brand exports to over 60 countries and is now Germany’s fifth-largest brewery.

Introducing Warsteiner Fresh 0.0

Warsteiner Fresh 0.0 is the alcohol-free version of the flagship Warsteiner Premium Pilsner. It’s brewed traditionally in accordance with the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot), using only water, barley malt, hops, and yeast.

Unlike some alcohol-free beers, the alcohol is removed after full fermentation and maturation. This helps the beer retain the authentic crisp and refreshing flavour of its alcoholic counterpart.

Warsteiner Fresh 0.0 Review

I reviewed Warsteiner Fresh 0.0 using three key categories: Aroma, Appearance, and Drinkability.

Aroma

There’s a soft citrus note on the nose — clean, subtle, and not overpowering.

Appearance

It pours with a lovely foamy head and a rich golden hue. The carbonation is lively, giving it a vibrant look and feel.

Taste

On first sip, it’s light, crisp, and citrusy. It does lean a little toward the watery side, but not disappointingly so. The carbonation gives it a great mouthfeel, and there’s no bitter or lingering aftertaste.

Final Thoughts

Warsteiner Fresh 0.0 is a solid choice for anyone looking for an authentic German pilsner experience without the alcohol. While it’s slightly on the lighter side, it delivers on refreshment and is incredibly easy to enjoy — whether you’re sipping after work, at a BBQ, or simply cutting back on alcohol.

If you’re a fan of traditional lagers and want something alcohol-free that doesn’t compromise on taste, this one’s worth a try.
