This is lightly hazy brownish light amber with a very big off-white head slowly shrinking to a thin top and leaving a hint of lace. The aroma is bread, yeasty sourdough, crust, pine, leaves, hint of caramel. The taste ios very bready and leafy with some spice, hints of caramel, pine, lemon, and it’s a bit zesty. It’s quite nice, a bit dry, but with flavour and easy to drink.

Oct 13, 2008 Pours a cloudy light brown with a big head head. Looks great. Good malty aroma with caramel notes in it. Nice malty taste with a slight amount of hops. Has a sort of brandy taste to it. Quite a good lager.

Oct 10, 2008 500ml flip top. My first keller bier. It Poured a cloudy orange-copper/brown color with a very nice off-white fluffy head. The aroma had sweet caramel with tobacco and some honey. Flavor is a decent blend of grainy, toasty, doughy, honeyish malt sweetness and lightly spicy, leafy, fruity hops, accompanied by tinges of light bitterness and a gentle yeast presence. Mouthfeel was fully and hearty, liquid bread, a nice beer.

Sep 9, 2008 Glass poured fresh from 5L party keg. Never seen a kellerbier anywhere outside Germany, this is certainly a treat! Pours an enticing chuck-laden murky copper body with a moderate dense white head leaving clumpy lace on the way down. Sweet malt on the nose, caramelly and toasty, some musty dried fruit, earthy spice and bread. Lively carbonation, moderate body, has a somewhat appealing grittiness about the texture. Toasty malt body, sweet toffee and fresh baked bread, orange citrus and musty dried apricot, spicy almost like a Belgian towards the finish. Reasonably bitter with a lingering drying spice and breadiness. Big fan of this style, wish it were more common place downunder. Quite a nice beer overall too.

Sep 5, 2008 1 pint .9 fl oz swing top bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas City, MO. Pour is a cloudy brown golden with a great bubbly settling and a 1 inch tan head. Aroma of sweet fruit and bready maltiness. Very much a toasted caramel sweetness. Big, full nose and pretty syrupy. Taste is sweet and syrupy. Caramel is there, still toasted but there is now an orange syrup sweetness as well. The palate is nice, unfiltered and mouth coating. Very low carbonation. Overall, interesting, but a bit more syrupy sweetness than I like.
