Les Trois Mousquetaires S.S. Kellerbier

Brewed by Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: Zwickel/Keller/Landbier
Brossard, Canada

Bottle. Pours a hazy light orange with a small, thick white head. Aroma of skunk and sweet lager malt. Flavor of sweet lager malt, some stale malt, with some spices (peppery) and some lavender. Not a great kellerbier, but perhaps it would be better a little fresher? Still drinkable and enjoyable. 6/4/6/4/14 [3.4/5]

750ml from State Line Liquors. Nice pour, clean and lively, somewhat darker than I’d expected. Tremendously crisp aroma of yeast and dry hops, a lovely earthy bouquet that is very appealing (berries and hard cheese to go with, anyone?). Soft but abundant carbonation, very full mouthfeel, it’s almost like a sipper keller, improbably. Full flavor with a slight tang and a leafy finish. Very well done.

Pours deep gold into a stein. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet cookie aromas. Sweet malts upfront turning to bitter hops in the dry, lasting finish.

Hazy golden pour with a thick white head. The nose is lightly crackery and a bit sweet with a distinct autolyzed yeast component. A little bit of honey and some crackery base malt as well. Meh, this seems to have been good once, but it’s well past it’s prime.

grassy aroma. Pours a cloudy brown-gold, high carbonation, big foamy head. Light, sweet flavour. Grassy, with drying bitter finish. Refreshing.

750 ml corked and caged bottle poured a hazy golden amber with a lasting ivory head. Aromas of bread, light fruittiness, light earthiness and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, fruittiness, light spice and light yeast with a crisp fruity finish.

750ml bottle from K&L Redwood City, enjoyed with a dinner of käsespätzle cooked by an actual German person (hell yeah!). Poured into Bruery tulip - clear golden-straw with a large, frothy white head. Aroma is pale malt, grain, floral and grassy hops, yeast, and a little pepper. Flavor is floral, grassy, herbal, peppery, and yeasty with bready pale malt and some grain. This beer comes off as really unfiltered and rough, in a good way. I like it. Palate is crisp with medium-light body and some prickly carbonation. Very nice for the style.

Pours clear and golden with a prominent white head, which soon thins down to yield some nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is slightly floral and resinous with a bit of grainy undertone. Tastes much like it smells; nice and crisp lager base accentuated with a smooth carbonation level. Finishes with a touch of bitterness of on the tongue. Nicely done, another worthy addition to Les Trois Mousquetaire’s already impressive selection.
