Kellerbier

Tap to rate

An unfiltered cellar lager that is matured traditionally and bottled with its yeast, glowing a hazy honey gold. It is brewed to 12.5 °P and hopped with Hallertauer Tradition. The aroma brings caramel, honey and ripe plum over a light yeasty note, with hints of apple and grapefruit adding freshness. The palate is soft and creamy, gently spicy and more hop-forward than the brewery's helles, finishing mild with a faint bitter edge.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent caramel and honey notes, underpinned by a gentle yeasty character from the bottle conditioning. Ripe plum and dark fruit emerge in the mid-range, while hints of green apple and grapefruit add brightness and erfrischend lift. Hallertauer Tradition hops contribute a subtle spice without dominating the blend.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and creamy, with a pillowy mouthfeel that belies the beer's moderate strength. Caramel and honey flavours dominate the entry and mid-palate, with dark fruit providing depth. The hop character is more assertive than expected from the style, introducing a gentle spice and building toward a mild bitterness on the finish.
