Bavaria 0.0 Ginger Lime Smalt
You crack it cold and the first thing you get is ginger, that little warm tingle at the back of your throat, then lime cuts straight across it. It's bright, it's spicy, it's got fizz, and it's 0.0% alcohol so you can have one (or four) and still drive everyone home. Designated driver tonight? On a dry month? Just not feeling booze but want something that tastes like more than soda? This is your guy. All the refreshment, zero of the regret.
Pour it and you'll smell the ginger and lime before it hits your lips, sharp and zesty. The sip starts with a soft maltiness, that gentle grain sweetness from wheat and barley malt, then the ginger kicks in with a real bit of heat and the lime slices through with proper citrus tang. There's a clean, mildly tart finish (that's a touch of lactic acid doing its thing) and lively bubbles keeping it lively the whole way down. Lightly sweet, lightly spicy, never heavy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Bavaria, the Dutch brewery run by the Swinkels family in the village of Lieshout in the south of the Netherlands. Despite the name, there's nothing German about it, it's been a family brewing operation since 1719, which is roughly three centuries of knowing what they're doing. The 0.0% range is their answer to people who still want a proper brewed drink without the alcohol, and the Ginger Lime is the one with attitude.
