🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 147 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Keller Hell is Berliner Berg's unfiltered cellar lager at 5.4%, brewed exclusively for bars and restaurants in Berlin and part of the range since 2024. The brewery calls it easy-drinking and naturally cloudy, with a soft body and a light touch of hops. Drinkers describe a malty, cereal-led beer with a fruity edge and a rounded, full feel. Fresh bread, grain and pale malt come first, followed by a gentle fruitiness, a soft yeasty note from the haze and a mild herbal hop accent in a smooth, lightly bitter finish.

AI-generated sensory profile for Berliner Berg Keller Hell

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with a natural haze characteristic of its unfiltered nature. The cloudiness stems from yeast in suspension, lending the beer a soft, inviting appearance. Carbonation is moderate, producing a fine head with gentle lacing that gradually recedes.

◌ Aroma

Fresh bread and pale malt dominate the nose, offering a straightforward, grain-forward character. A soft yeasty note emerges from the haze, followed by a gentle fruity undertone that keeps the profile light and approachable. Herbal hop aromatics provide only a delicate accent, never overwhelming.
