The defining production detail is that the yeast — rich in protein, minerals, and B-group vitamins — is deliberately left in the beer rather than filtered out, placing it firmly in the Kellerbier or Zwickelbier tradition of unfiltered cellar beers. The generous 1-liter swing-top (flip-top) bottle is a nod to old-world European packaging and helps differentiate it on the shelf from standard format beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect a gentle grain-forward nose led by pale malt breadiness, with subtle floral and herbal hop character from the aromatic hops used in brewing.

Mid-palate, moderate hop bitterness arrives alongside light herbal and grassy notes.
