Fresh Hop Kellerbier

Helles // 4.5% ABV // 18 IBU // 10.5 P

light body + fresh hops + crisp

Our third and final fresh hop beer of the season is a pale unfiltered lager in the Franconian Landbier style. The use of singular freshly picked wet Chinook hops, and malt from Mellrichstadt, Germany make up the base of this country-style lager. To obtain proper conditioning, it was cold fermented with Bavarian origin yeast and held in our cellar for an extended period.

With notes of honey, earthy spice, fresh wildflower aromas, and a matchstick like mineral bitterness to round out the flavor — this beer is clean, crisp, dry and as always, hops were sourced from Growing Veterans Farm in Lynden, WA.
