About This Beer
To craft Off Again, the Fonta Flora crew teamed up with Cellarest Beer Project. They started with a simple grist of local two row pilsner and dextrin malt. Then they boiled it in their open-top oak foeder using local granite rocks heated in a wood fire! Popular prior to metal mash tuns, this style of Steinhelles — German for ‘stone Helles’ — brims with flavors of toffee and minerality thanks to the stones’ hot surfaces instantly caramelizing the sugars they touch.
The duo then delicately hopped the Lager with Hallertau and Perle, fermented it cool with Fonta Flora’s house lager yeast, and spunded the brew for a crisp, ultra-authentic sip.
Tasting Notes
Every golden pour perfumes the air with bouquets of floral aromas and wafts of freshly baked bread. The sip follows, toasted brioche tones and hints of wildflower leading into delicate caramel plus a whisper of smoky char. It all flows into a grassy, herbal flourish on a refreshing finish.
