Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with no head. Sweet malty bready aroma with barley, toasted corn, light floral and some herbal accents. flavor is malty sweet with light caramel, grain, bread, and is lightly bitter with a light to medium body and a dry finish.

Bottle from State Line. Turbid deep gold pour with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is grainy pale malt, some hopcitrus. Tastes pale malty, with some honey and hopcitrus flavors. More prominent Saazy hoppy notes emerge as it warms.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour ith a nice white head. Malty aroma and taste with nice grassy notes. Semi bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Golden-amber color. Noteworthy lack of carbonation hiss upon opening the bottle. The beer poured with a hyper-minimal head as well. The taste is mildly and enjoyably malty sweet, with a very faint hop presence somewhere way in the back. All around a pretty good beer, but I’m assuming something is not going right on the bottling line.

Bottle from Chevy Chase Liquors. Hazy amber body that shows little carbonation when poured resulting in a tiny white head. Lightly sweet nose with apple juice, very light herbal/grassy hops and a touch of corn starch. The flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter with light lemon, some grassy hops, honey, hay and dough. Medium body is soft with very light carbonation. Not what I picture when I think of Kellerbier. I hope this was just an old bottle (though other ratings are similar). I’m cutting it a bit of slack on the rating just to be safe.

Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Light amber weak rocky top. Yeast sediment found at bottom .
Nose :Hoppy , citric with fresh hay like aromas. Refreshing farm like harvest feel, light spiciness at finish.7-
Flavor/Palate : Quiet soft, quality malt sitting up front/ Gently, satisfying character. Silky with distinctive soft hop bittering. Yummy traditional lager. Subtle superb qualities sneak upon you. One of those brews that grown on you as you drink. At the end you will be in love with it.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy light honey amber with close to no head. Nose of old red apples, slightly moldly and dank, with some toasted corn, toasted barley, and a light sweet honeycrisp apple note. Texture is bright, vivid, juice-like, but fresher than it smells, with more of a grassy, dry hop presence, amplified in the finish. Dry and pasty aftertaste reminds me of some English bitters. I think my bottle is a little old, but it’s still quite good.

Pours a clear copper with basically no head. Mild, clean nose. Very smooth flavor profile that carries a back tone that is sweet in nature that eventually kicks it up a bit and blows up in the mouth. Nice leaft edge. Nothing crazy, but smooth. Feel is smooth with a consistent carbonation and the liquid is good as well. Very easy to drink. Could go on this all night with no problem.
