Tap to rate

An unfiltered organic beer that leans towards the grain side: spicy and malt-forward, with a soft hop note and an easy, smooth flow. Nothing is filtered out, so it reaches the glass naturally cloudy. The organic brewing barley grows on the Swabian Jura as a support crop for lentils, sheltering the delicate plants from wind and weather. Pale barley malt forms the grist, with Hallertauer Akoja and Hallertauer Tradition from Tettnang as hops. Original gravity is 12.6 percent.

Golden-pale with a natural haze from unfiltered yeast and grain particulates. The head is modest but persistent, with fine-textured lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is gentle and unobtrusive, befitting the cellar-aged character of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, grainy notes of pale malt—subtle bread crust and biscuit undertones. Behind this sits a restrained spice character from the Hallertauer varieties, with herbal and slightly peppery edges. The overall impression is understated and drinkable, with no aggressive hop volatility.

◐ Taste

The palate unfolds with malt-forward character: soft, slightly sweet grain flavours dominate the mid-palate without heaviness. The hop bitterness is gentle and integrated at 25 IBU, arriving late and finishing clean. The texture flows smoothly across the tongue, aided by the unfiltered body and moderate carbonation.
