Stadt Land Bier

Tap to rate

Stadt Land Bier is the brewery's light Saison, released in numbered batches and conceived as an easy-drinking canvas for the house culture. At 3.5 percent it still brings plenty of flavour: the current batch was brewed with the farm's own malt and a generous dose of whole-cone hops, and it tastes fresh and bitter with notes of hay and lemon. Because wild yeasts and lactic bacteria work in the barrel, a gentle acidity can develop as the bottle ages, adding a tart edge to the dry, grassy finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh herbal and grassy notes from whole-cone hops, layered beneath a gentle citrus character that reads as lemon zest. Beneath lies a subtle malt foundation with a slight hay-like sweetness, creating an inviting and approachable profile. The overall impression is clean and bright, with no heavy esters or phenolic notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp, with moderate bitterness—35 IBU presents without harshness—balanced against the farm malt's restrained sweetness. The mid-palate develops a dry, slightly bitter profile with those persistent grassy and hay notes, while the low alcohol stays in the background. Whole-cone hop character persists as a gentle bitterness rather than aggressive resin.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and grassy, with the bitterness lingering cleanly on the palate without becoming astringent. As the bottle ages, wild yeasts and lactic bacteria can introduce a gentle tart acidity that sharpens the aftertaste and adds complexity to repeated sips.
