DO-RI-N-KU - Non-alcoholic beer

Asia is a source of inspiration for many: The continent is incredibly diverse and is home to a multitude of unique cultures and landscapes The team at Dutch brewery Oedipus also looks to Asia with longing and is only too happy to be inspired by the colors and shapes, tastes and smells, minimalism, aesthetics and attitude to life there

The fruit of their admiration is Do-Ri-N-Ku, an unconventional brew with less than 0.5% alcohol and a citrus-fresh character The drink is based on sodas and lemonades, but is brewed like a conventional beer and is considered a completely new category by its makers In addition to barley and wheat malt, the hops varieties Cascade, Citra and Mosaic, the list of ingredients includes orange and lemon peel as well as lactose

The award-winning creation flows into the glass in almost clear pale gold and is adorned with a fleeting hint of foam The aroma of freshly grated citrus zest rises to the nose and promises refreshing enjoyment The first sip follows on from the foot and keeps its olfactory promise: Light-footed and tangy notes of lemon, orange and homemade lemonade tingle on the tongue The hops contribute a delicate bitterness that goes perfectly with the fruity acidity and mild sweetness

Do-Ri-N-Ku combines Asian restraint with lemony freshness and elegant effervescence Fine!
