Mühlviertler Bio Bier

Tap to rate

A Helles brewed entirely from Mühlviertel organic raw materials: the barley comes from local organic farmers, the hops from the Mühlviertel and the water from the brewery's own well. Its colour recalls ripe barley fields, and spicy hop aromas rise from the glass. After five weeks of lagering it is filtered but not pasteurised, which keeps the natural aromas intact. 5.1% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mühlviertler Bio Bier

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue that echoes the colour of ripe barley fields under summer sun. The beer presents excellent clarity, achieved through filtration while preserving natural character through the absence of pasteurisation. A fine, persistent white head forms with good retention and delicate lacing.

◌ Aroma

Spicy hop character dominates the nose, expressing the noble varieties grown in the Mühlviertel terroir. Beneath the herbal and peppery hop notes lies a subtle malty foundation with hints of fresh bread and grain. The unfiltered, unpasteurised treatment preserves clean, natural aromatics without any yeast-derived funk.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing entry driven by light malt sweetness and restrained noble hop bitterness. The mid-palate develops a smooth, clean character with subtle bread-like notes and gentle spice from the hops. Bitterness remains balanced and integrated, never aggressive, allowing the organic malt foundation to shine through.
