Prizm NOLO Sour Ananas
"Pineapple does not go on pizza." Gordon Ramsay said it. Pineapple in sour beer? Might finally end his pineapple kitchen nightmare. Prizm Nolo's 0.0% Fruited Sour from Montpellier — tangy, tropical, lychee twist, deliciously divisive. The French send their regards.
Aroma & Taste
Tangy · Tropical · Fruity
Prizm NOLO Sour opens with bright pineapple aromas and delicate lychee notes, layered with subtle cereal undertones that provide structure without heaviness.
On the palate, the beer delivers a tangy, invigorating mouthfeel with juicy tropical fruit sweetness balanced by clean, refreshing acidity — immediate freshness from the first sip.
The finish is crisp and thirst-quenching, leaving behind lingering pineapple and a pleasant roundness that invites another pour.
Story & Design
Pandemic · Monpellier · France
Prizm Brewing Co. opened in Vendargues, Montpellier in August 2020 during the pandemic and quickly became one of France's top-rated craft breweries on Untappd.
Founded by Julien du Tremblay (who previously ran GuruBeer, France's premier craft beer distributor), the brewery is known for striking graphic design and high-profile collaborations, including work with Brulo on alcohol-free releases.
Prizm NOLO is their dedicated alcohol-free line launched with the tagline "It's all the same but without the hangover" — including NEIPA, DIPA, and Fruited Sour year-round.
Ingredients & Value
Sour · 0.0%
This fruited sour uses real pineapple puree for authentic tropical character, oats for body, and glycolipids (a mushroom-derived, clean-label preservative) instead of E-numbers — a seven-ingredient formula that stays natural.
At €3.33 per can, the price reflects Prizm's no-compromise approach to 0.0% brewing: same obsessive R&D as their alcoholic range, same striking design, same refusal to apologise for being alcohol-free.
Verdict & Opinion
Hero
Pineapple on pizza splits tables. Pineapple in sour beer? Watch the room divide again.
Prizm's NOLO Sour is the French answer to divisive fruit choices — tangy, tropical, deliberately polarising. If you've never had a sour, this might confuse you. Sours don't taste like "normal" beer because they're not trying to. The tartness is intentional, the acidity refreshing, the pineapple unapologetic.
The drinking experience is bright and invigorating. Juicy pineapple hits first, lychee adds complexity, clean acidity cuts through. At 0.0%, there's nothing to slow you down — this is sessionable in the truest sense.
From the same Montpellier brewery that hit Untappd's top French ranks during a pandemic, wrapped in design that treats cans as culture. At €3.33, you're paying for real fruit puree and a brewery that refuses shortcuts.
Rebel status confirmed. The French send their regards.
