Open Mind Fermentation Project

A vibrant take on the Munich Helles, this lager celebrates the harvest with fresh Saaz hop cones added to the whirlpool just hours after picking. The pour reveals a rustic character with yeast in suspension, supporting a bready malt backbone. On the nose, the Saaz hops deliver bright lemon and spicy floral notes that layer over grainy-sweet aromatics. The palate is exceptionally smooth thanks to natural carbonation via spunding, offering a creamy mouthfeel and a soft, rounded bitterness. It balances farm-fresh vitality with traditional elegance, finishing clean and refreshing as an ultimate celebratory drinker for the harvest season.
