500ml bottle. Softly malty, fruity aroma, with notes of lightly grassy, herbal, citric hop as well as some faint pear, apple and very faintly sweet, pale malt. Medium dusky orange color with an uneven, thin head and spots of lace. Flavor has some lightly doughy, bready, almost grainy, caramel malt sweetness throughout, combined with a touch of earthy, fruity, leafy hop flavor and very mild bitterness. Thin and fairly wet on the palate, which seems to befit the style, paired with a light body. Mild, palatable and quenching.

Jun 7, 2008 Amber with medium slowly diminishing white head. Aroma is very vegetal along with tortilla chips and mild sweet malts. Taste is vegetal as well with some mild sweet malt and light apple mixed in. Finish is dry and astringent with some brunt hop characteristics. My first beer of this type, not really sure what to expect. It’s okay, but I won’t rush out to get another in this category.

May 10, 2008 I like the flavors a good bit, but it could be fresher and damnit isn’t a Kellerbier unfiltered? Where’s the beef? Kind of flowery, kind of skunky aroma. Malty, a bit of stale toffee and compost heap, a fine dose of flowers and pencil shavings, with a little 9 volt zing, but really where is the complexity, depth and mouthfeel of the best kellerbier? Not in a bottle I suppose, but I must do a tour in Germany, that’s for sure.

Appearance: Clean dark amber with medium frisky top.
Nose : Fresh ,aromatic hops welcome you up front. Some caramel with refreshing clean malts. Little earthy tones at back touch zesty hops in nice way.
Flavor/Palate : Very soft , silky smooth with bit of stickiness. Good malt base , soft water helps as well. Slight roasty hints. Very clean and drinkable with neat zesty hop character.
