Hummel Kellerbier

Tap to rate

The brewery's core beer is a Franconian Kellerbier matured unbunged, so it reaches the glass with very little carbonation. Colour runs from amber to golden, brewed from 12.5 °P original gravity. The malt gives a gentle sweetness with notes of caramel, honey and bread crust, while Hallertau hops add a herbal, slightly floral bitterness that grows towards the finish. The soft, low-carbonated body keeps it round rather than sharp.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hummel Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a clear amber-to-golden hue, bright and inviting in the glass. A modest white head forms and gradually subsides, leaving fine lacing on the walls. The hallmark low carbonation creates a soft, gently textured surface rather than vigorous bubbling, allowing the malt's natural colour to shine through without turbulence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with herbaceous Hallertau character — grassy and delicately floral — layered beneath a warm malty foundation. Gentle caramel and honey sweetness emerge from the grain bill, rounded out by bread crust notes that speak to the beer's modest original gravity and traditional lagering. The overall impression is restrained and composed, without sharp hop oils or yeast-driven esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with a subtle sweetness of honey and caramel developing across the mid-palate. Hallertau hops introduce a clean herbal bitterness that builds gradually toward the finish, never aggressive but persistent and well-integrated. The low carbonation allows the beer to feel round and full-bodied despite its moderate strength, with no sharp edges or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with herbal bitterness lingering gently on the palate and fading into a clean, slightly dry aftertaste. The malt's sweetness recedes gracefully, leaving a composed impression without heavy residue.
