Hirter Freigeist

Austria·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

An alcohol-free lager with a classic beery nose and a hint of honey. The palate is harmonious with a malty note and mild bitterness, and dry hopping adds a special hop aroma. The honey tones stem from the special yeast. Unfiltered, brewed with barley mostly grown in the Krappfeld, right outside the brewery gates. Below 0.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hirter Freigeist

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms with modest initial volume but displays good retention and lacing throughout the glass. The unfiltered character remains visually clean despite the absence of filtration.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a classically beery profile with a distinctive honey tone derived from the special yeast strain. Dry-hopped noble hops contribute a refined floral and herbal character that lifts the bouquet above typical alcohol-free lagers. Subtle bread-like notes emerge beneath, grounded in quality barley malt.

◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and crisp, with a harmonious malty structure that avoids heaviness despite the low ABV. Mild bitterness (22 IBU) arrives mid-palate, balanced by soft honey undertones and a faint bread character. The dry-hopping provides a lasting hop impression without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and medium-length, with the hop bitterness gradually receding to reveal a subtle honey-malt dryness. No cloying sweetness remains, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
