Greifenklau Kellerbier

Brauerei Greifenklau
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 142 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

An unfiltered lager brewed to the same 12.4 °P as the Lager and served naturally cloudy, so more yeast and protein stay in the glass. Compared with the clear beers it tastes fuller and rounder, with a bready, slightly doughy malt core, a soft yeasty note and a restrained herbal bitterness that keeps the finish dry. The haze is intended. It goes on tap between the seasonal specials rather than on a fixed date.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Greifenklau Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

Golden-amber hue with pronounced natural cloudiness from suspended yeast and protein—the haze is a defining characteristic, not a flaw. The head forms quickly and persists with fine, delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Low to moderate carbonation is evident, appropriate for a naturally conditioned cellar lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, grainy malt notes underscored by a subtle yeasty breadiness. Soft herbal hop character emerges in the background without aggression, supported by a whisper of spice. The overall impression is restrained and inviting rather than perfumed.

◐ Taste

The palate is fuller and rounder than its clear counterpart, with a pronounced bready, slightly doughy malt core that provides backbone and texture. Soft yeast character weaves through the mid-palate, contributing a gentle roundness. Herbal bitterness arrives restrained and clean, driving the finish dry without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering herbal notes and a clean, mineral-like quality. A gentle malt sweetness fades into a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.
