Hirter Kellermeister

Tap to rate

A naturally cloudy organic lager with a yeasty nose over pure malt notes. The palate is mild and grainy, still yeasty, with gentle carbonation. Barley and wheat malt and the hops all come from Austrian organic farms, and the same pure-culture yeast has been multiplied unchanged in the brewery's own lab for many years. Unfiltered, Slow Brewing certified, 4.8% ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent yeasty notes—a hallmark of the brewery's proprietary culture—layered over clean, grainy malz impressions. Wheat malt contributes soft, bread-like undertones without aggressiveness. Hop character is subtle and refined, contributing a modest herbal and floral whisper that frames rather than dominates the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is mild and approachable, with a soft malt foundation of barley and wheat developing into the mid-palate. Yeast remains present throughout, adding complexity and a slight phenolic edge that keeps the beer from becoming one-dimensional. Bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the pure, organic grain character to shine through without sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering yeasty and grain-forward notes that fade gradually. A slight minerality emerges in the aftertaste, characteristic of slow fermentation and natural, unfiltered character.
