Lowa Trolls
By Brasserie Dubuisson · Belgium
The 0.3% blonde in Dubuisson’s Trolls range, from Pipaix: floral hops with “hints of citrus and zest” and “a lingering bitterness”, the brewer says, made with a specific yeast and a slow fermentation.
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 Lowa Trolls?
Brasserie Dubuisson is a family brewery in Pipaix, Belgium, founded in 1769, it says, and the maker of Bush and Cuvée des Trolls. Lowa Trolls, created in 2025, is its only alcohol-free beer; L’Avenir reported it was unveiled in March 2025.
Dubuisson says a specific yeast and a slow fermentation keep it at 0.3%. It describes a filtered, bright blonde with a creamy white head, floral hops with citrus and zest, and a lingering bitterness with slight sweetness and balanced acidity; the hops include Motueka. The Alcohol Free Co describes floral hop notes, citrus and orange zest, and “more bite than a standard lager”. L’Avenir reported that it won gold at the World Beer Awards 2025; we couldn’t check it on the World Beer Awards’ own site.
