Same Collider Unwind Blend as the standard Lager — L-theanine, Lion’s Mane and ashwagandha — but this one is cut with real peach juice from concentrate and a small peach syrup addition, aimed at drinkers who find a straight 0.5% lager a bit too austere.
The trade-off is honest: adding fruit juice means more sugar and calories than the base Lager. Per can this comes in at roughly 96 calories and 16g of sugar — still well under a standard alcoholic beer, but noticeably more than Collider’s own “36 calories” headline figure, which only applies to the plain Lager. Ingredients also bring in citric acid, natural flavouring, a touch of caramel colour, and black carrot & elderberry for colour, alongside the usual barley, wheat, hops and yeast base.
Like the Lager, it’s brewed and canned in the UK, vegan, and processed to remove gluten. The mood-boosting claims for Unwind Blend are Collider’s own positioning rather than an independently verified effect — worth trying for the taste, treat the “calm” as anecdotal.
Full tasting notes and our member ratings below.
A single 330ml can runs to roughly £2.65–£3, or around £29 for a 12-pack bought direct from drinkcollider.com — it’s also stocked through specialist alcohol-free retailers like Dry Drinker, Nought Drinks and The Alcohol Free Co. As of now it isn’t showing up in the big four supermarkets, so the brand’s own site or those retailers are the reliable place to find it.
Serve it straight from the fridge in a chilled glass rather than the can — the peach syrup gives it a slightly deeper colour and more visible carbonation than the plain Lager, so it’s one of the better-looking 0.5% beers poured rather than drunk from the tin. No live culture or fermentation quirks to worry about here: keep it in the fridge and drink by the best-before date, same as any canned beer.
If you want the same base without the fruit and sugar, Collider Unwind Blend is the plain Lager this one is built on, at 36 calories a can against this one’s 96.
