Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier

Draught@Beer Hunters, Pori
Light amber brown color, good white head. Sweetish, barley, rye aroma. Grassy hoppy, malty, refreshing flavor. Good summer drink. Standard but clean, solid example of kellerbier-style.

Slightly cloudy upon pouring from the bottle. Hoppy and very refreshing.Sharp without being overpowering this is certainly one for the summer, or any other time of the year.

Vom fass @ Hofbräuhaus, München, Germany.
The evening, the heat of Summer and in the shade of the mammoth chestnut tree, my wife and I got merrily pissed. We moved about a few times, from a table of Russian business men, to a table of Spanish backpackers and onto another with a lovely chap just out of Lebanon (just before the little border disagreement). It was World Cup time and a game was about to start. Our bier-wench was not her polite, smiling self as she had to keep looking for our whereabouts. Bloody trinkgeld!!! I asked for this in a litre stein but she denied me the privilege so "another round of ’house’ lagers and a side of Kellerbier, danke schön frau ober!"
This produced so sparkling I swear it weren’t on lees. A beautiful, bright, Summery gold to match the afternoon and the aroma it exuded. Orange gold like the horizon at sunset with a standard issue half-pint of head that receded to a messy web of white and drabbed thick bubbly messages down the sides. The aroma has tropical fruit, pineapple, pear and the leafy clippings included. Also a nice touch of malt peaks out, fresh, from underneath. In the mouth it is a little less absorbing as the nose. More malt here, grainy, not gritty though, very clean and leaning on sweet though the back end dries out considerably. Body is light - filtered?, hope not... - and the carbonation lively though its finish is supple (phew!!!). Nice length of fruit and grain to which a little bitterness is perceived. It excelled far above the other beers of this Staatbrauraei. Very nice, very easy to drink and very well balanced. Up against the other Kellerbiers of my trip, though, this lacked that true, strengthening, original character. Still, a bloody good drop, and I can’t remember who played the match let alone who won. The bier-wench did eventually get her tip!!! (Hofbräu Sommer hefetrüb)
