Helga Nr. 96 is a non-alcoholic raspberry sour ale from Icelandic craft brewery Borg Brugghús. This lighter take on their popular sour range is brewed without alcohol and lactose, yet delivers genuine raspberry character and tart complexity.

The nose presents sweet raspberry fruit with tart, citrus-tinged notes. On the palate, raspberry dominates with a clean, refreshing sourness that never becomes harsh. The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering raspberry fruit.

Despite its minimal alcohol content, this beer strikes a genuine balance between fruit and acidity. It works well as an introduction to sour ales or for those seeking raspberry-forward flavours without significant alcohol.
