Cornet Oaked Alcohol-Free
By Cornet · Belgium
The 0.3% version of Cornet Oaked, the oaked Belgian blond from Brouwerij De Hoorn, part of Palm: “volmondig, subtiele vanille toets, fruitig en aangenaam bitter”, full-bodied, with a subtle touch of vanilla, fruity and pleasantly bitter, Albert Heijn’s listing says. 25 kcal per 100ml.
At 0.3% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work
What is Oaked Alcohol-Free?
Cornet is the oaked blond of Brouwerij De Hoorn in Steenhuffel, which Palm bought in 2014, Beer52 reported; Palm is owned by the Dutch group Royal Swinkels. The full-strength Cornet Oaked is 8.5%; this alcohol-free version followed in 2021, in bottles and cans, and Albert Heijn now lists it as “Cornet Alcoholfree”.
The Alcohol Free Co and the Dutch shop Alcoholvrij Bierhuis say it’s Cornet Oaked with the alcohol removed, then oaked again with oak chips; the ingredient list at Albert Heijn and Colruyt declares oak extract. Both may apply. Albert Heijn’s listing credits its flavour to “de rijping op eikenhouten snippers”, maturing on oak chips. The Alcohol Free Co describes a soft wood character, a gentle vanilla note and a smooth, creamy finish, “fuller and more rounded than a simple lager”.
Albert Heijn’s listing gives 25 kcal per 100ml, with 1.5g of sugars, from the brewer’s product data: about 83 kcal a bottle (our sum). We haven’t scored it yet.
