Zipfer Kellerbier

Tap to rate

Unfiltered and naturally cloudy, with a pleasant hop nose and rounder hop notes; spicy and fruity, and easy to drink. Brewed at 5.0 % ABV and 11.7° Plato with Magnum, Perle, Tettnanger and Spalter Select; yeast is on the ingredient list. It grew out of the cellar-beer evenings at the Zipf brewery, where it was served only once a week before it was bottled for general sale.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Zipfer Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with pronounced natural cloudiness from suspended yeast and lack of filtration. The haze diffuses light evenly throughout the body, creating a soft, luminous appearance. A modest white head forms and persists with fine Schaumkleiden along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, herbaceous noble-hop character—Tettnanger and Spalter Select provide floral and slightly spicy top notes. Beneath sits a gentle malt sweetness with subtle fruity esters from the yeast. The overall impression is clean and garden-fresh, without aggressive bittering aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a soft malt foundation and immediate noble-hop spice on the midpalate. Fruity notes emerge alongside the herbal bitterness, balancing the 25 IBU with restrained but persistent bite. The yeast adds subtle phenolic depth without dominating; the beer remains easy to drink and refreshing throughout.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering hop spice and gentle fruit notes fading into a clean, slightly dry aftertaste. The natural cloudiness carries through to the very end, leaving no astringency.
