Tostada 0.0

A darker, toasted-malt lager from Estrella Levante at 0.0% ABV, with roasted cereal notes and a gentle hop bitterness.

About This Drink

Tostada means toasted, and Estrella Levante's dark variant is built around that idea. Where the standard 0.0 sticks to pilsner malt, this one brings in caramel and roasted malts to add colour, depth and a different flavour profile. It's a style that sits somewhere between a dark lager and a Märzen — amber in appearance, malt-forward in character. The pour is a warm amber-brown with good clarity. The nose leads with toasted cereal and a soft caramel note, with just enough hop presence to keep it from being purely sweet. On the palate the toasted grain comes through clearly without tipping into burnt or bitter territory. The malt sweetness is balanced by the hop bitterness rather than dominated by it, which gives it more complexity than the standard Estrella Levante 0.0. For drinkers who find most alcohol-free lagers too one-dimensional and pale, this is a more interesting option. It's widely available across UK alcohol-free specialists and is a reasonable pick for fans of darker, maltier styles.
