Astra Keller Kalle

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with natural haze from suspended yeast, presenting the hallmark turbidity of an unfiltered Kellerbier. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden, indicating good protein and carbonation stability. Lively carbonation rises steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy Malz character reminiscent of fresh bread, underscored by delicate floral notes from noble Saazer hops. Perle contributes a subtle herbal backdrop with hints of white pepper and dried flowers. A clean, yeasty minerality rounds the profile without any oxidative or sulfurous edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, developing a vollmundig mid-palate with bready sweetness and gentle Noble-hop bitterness that never overwhelms. The herbal-bitter finish builds steadily, with Perle's peppery dryness and Saazer's crisp bite creating a balanced, food-friendly bitterness of 35 IBU. The palate remains clean and refreshingly crisp throughout.

◑ Finish

Medium-length dry finish with lingering herbal-bitter notes and a light mineral aftertaste. The bready Malz character fades gradually, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.
