1160 Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

1160 Kellerbier presents a luminous amber hue with even, fine cloudiness throughout—a signature of its unfiltered, naturally carbonated character. A creamy, stable head crowns the pour, displaying good retention and delicate lacing on the glass. The haze speaks to the living yeast and unrefined malt particles in suspension, hallmarks of the Kellerbier tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft honey and red fruit notes—apple and stone fruit—layered beneath delicate, finely roasted malt character. There is no aggressive hop presence; instead, a subtle, clean maltiness grounds the aromatics. The overall impression is gentle and inviting, with the characteristic soft malt-forward profile of a true cellar beer.

◐ Taste

Entry is malty and full-bodied, with pronounced roasted malt flavors dominating the palate—biscuit and subtle bread crust notes. Honey sweetness weaves through the mid-palate, balanced by moderate, non-aggressive bitterness (25 IBU) that provides structure without dominating. The finish remains clean and crisp, with a lingering malty warmth and a whisper of bread-like complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with the roasted malt character trailing into a dry, slightly crisp aftertaste. A subtle honey note persists, grounding the beer's natural drying quality without astringency.
