500ml. bottle on 4/16/2008. I think this was a bad bottle. Hazy amber with virtually no head or carbonation to speak of. Grainy aroma with a slight floral hoppiness, but no oxidation. Medium body, but flat with a clean, dry plate. Light toffee sweetness up front, some spicy bitterness on the back end. Just didn’t seem right, and the total lack of carbonation certainly indicated a problem that manifested itself throughout the glass. Based on previous ratings, I’ll have to give it another try.

Jan 5, 2009 With this, I check the elusive Keller beer off the list! And a wierd beer it is. Malty aroma, yeasty, like baking bread, and this wierd smell, almost like tomato sauce (please dont call me crazy). The appearance is a hazy amber color. Almost no head. Low carbonation. The beer itself has a sweet, fruity feel, like apricots, grapes. Zero in the way of hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is very watery. The finish is almost non existent, but at least is not distatsteful. I could pound these if I was served this at a party. I am glad I found this representative of the style, but I wont make a habit of drinking it.

Dec 22, 2008 Pours with a somewhat watery texture in an amber hue with absolutely no head watsoever.
Aroma is of yeast, some citrus, and apricot peels.
Flavor is a little off - kind of feels like iced tea. Its surprisingly refreshing ill give it that! Taste is awkward, and not beer-like.
Watery mouth feel with absolutely no carbonation whatsoever.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Vigorous pour yields no head. Just a hazy golden orange body. Aroma is deep caramel with pear and a bit of soggy malt and a touch of corn. Taste is a bit of urine, wet dog, malt, DMS and iced tea. Sounds like a horrible combination, and although not great, it is not as bad as it sounds. Hardly any carbonation on the tongue. Watery.

Nov 29, 2008 Not much of a hiss on opening. Pours a still clear copperish orange with a heterogeneous thin, odd diminishing white head. The nose is sweet with malt, without much hops. Some darker malt, creamy with grape? Almost sickly sweet. Almost no carbonation really. Very subtle. A bit sticky, but not a ton of body at all to this beer. Sweet. Malt forward, hops are really MIA. Again, some darker malt and some grainy flavors. Again a hint of grape. Lingering toasty astringency in the finish.

Oct 25, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, courtesy of Harry. Fresh from the tank aroma, grassy fresh grain - nice and unique. Dark orange/yellow, little to no head. Good taste - refreshing grainy malt, some hops, bready. Good, unique, I enjoy this style done right.
