COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Gaffel Koelsch Frei (Free) has the typical delicately bitter, full Gaffel flavour, because like Gaffel Koelsch it is brewed according to the German Purity Law. A gentle procedure is used to remove the alcohol almost entirely and reduce the number of calories by more than 40 %.

Kristall-König (1642) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - JUL 5, 2011
Überzeugende Herbe in Antrunk und Mittelteil - Gaffeltypisch. Der Abgang geht spurlos am Gaumen vorrüber, da ziemlich wässrig. Für ein alkoholfreies Bier dennoch ganz anständig.Test vom 19.4.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is bready malts, hay, some grains and mild tropical fruityness lurking in the background. Flavour is hay, caramel, grains, some earth and mild hayish notes. Quite pleasant for a non alcoholic beer.
