Craft alcohol-free beer has come a long way, and fruit-infused lagers are leading the charge for refreshing, flavour-packed options. DAYS Brewing Co offers two standout fruit lagers that have been winning over both seasoned AF drinkers and curious newcomers: DAYS Peach Lager and DAYS Passion Fruit Lager. Both are 0.0% ABV, low in calories, and brewed with natural ingredients, but their personalities are distinctly different.
DAYS Passion Fruit Lager
Whether you’re planning a sunny afternoon picnic, a post-workout refreshment, or a sophisticated alcohol-free dinner pairing, choosing between peach and passion fruit can be surprisingly tough. In this head-to-head comparison, we’ll break down aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and ideal serving suggestions so you can decide which fruit lager deserves a spot in your next order.
Flavour Face-Off: Peach vs. Passion Fruit
DAYS Peach Lager opens with a gentle, sun-ripened sweetness that’s reminiscent of biting into a fresh yellow peach on a warm day. The fruit note is present but never overpowering — it sits elegantly on top of a crisp, clean lager base. The finish is dry and slightly floral, making it incredibly easy to drink. This is a beer that feels like a reward after a long walk or a lazy brunch.
DAYS Passion Fruit Lager, on the other hand, is a tropical explosion. From the first sip, you’re hit with zesty, tangy passion fruit that wakes up your palate. The sharpness is balanced by a subtle malt sweetness, and the carbonation feels lively and bright. It’s more assertive than the peach variant, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy bold, juicy flavours. If you’re a fan of sour or tart drinks, this one will likely become your go-to.
- Peach Lager: sweet, mellow, floral finish — best for relaxed sipping
- Passion Fruit Lager: tangy, zesty, vibrant — perfect for a flavour kick
Aroma & Appearance
Pour both into a glass and you’ll notice immediate differences. DAYS Peach Lager pours a pale straw colour with a fine white head that dissipates quickly. The nose is unmistakably peachy — think peach nectar or a bowl of sliced fruit. It’s inviting and gentle, promising a smooth drinking experience.
DAYS Passion Fruit Lager is slightly more golden with a bigger, frothier head. The aroma is punchy and exotic: passion fruit pulp, a hint of citrus, and a touch of tropical sweetness. Even before you taste it, you know you’re in for a lively ride. Both beers are brilliantly clear and look stunning in a DAYS Half Pint Glass, which enhances their colour and carbonation.
Calories, ABV & Ingredients: Keeping It Clean
Both fruit lagers share the same impressive nutritional profile: 0.0% ABV, under 30 calories per can, and no added sugar. They are brewed using natural fruit extracts and a traditional lager process, then dealcoholised to preserve flavour without the booze. This makes them ideal for anyone watching their waistline, driving, or simply choosing a healthier lifestyle.
The ingredients list is refreshingly short — water, barley malt, hops, yeast, and natural fruit flavouring. No artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, no gluten (if you’re sensitive, check the label). DAYS has managed to create a fruit beer that tastes authentic without relying on syrups or concentrates. For the best experience, serve both ice-cold, straight from the fridge.
- Both: 0.0% ABV, <30 calories, no added sugar
- Peach: subtle sweetness, low bitterness (5 IBU)
- Passion Fruit: tangy profile, slightly higher carbonation
When to Reach for Each Lager
DAYS Peach Lager shines in moments of relaxation. Pair it with light salads, grilled chicken, or a cheese board with brie and grapes. It’s also a fantastic brunch beer — think avocado toast or a fruit platter. If you’re introducing a friend to alcohol-free beer for the first time, Peach Lager is the gentle, crowd-pleasing entry point.
DAYS Passion Fruit Lager is built for adventure. It cuts through spicy food beautifully — try it with Thai green curry, fish tacos, or jerk chicken. It’s also a brilliant mixer: use it as a base for a non-alcoholic spritz with soda water and a lime wedge. For a tropical twist, pour it over ice with a splash of coconut water. This lager demands to be paired with bold, vibrant dishes.
- Peach Lager: brunch, light meals, first-time AF drinkers
- Passion Fruit Lager: spicy cuisine, tropical cocktails, hot summer days
