Kaiser Goldquell

Tap to rate

Kaiser Goldquell is the strongest beer in the Kaiser core range, brewed to an original gravity of 12.8 °P. It pours gold with reddish glints. The aroma leads with malt, joined by biscuit and a touch of caramel. On the palate it is spicy and malty, rounder and fuller than the lighter beers of the range, with a slightly grainy note, and it closes with a gently bittersweet hop edge that keeps the malt in balance.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by grainy, sweet malz character with pronounced biscuit and light caramel undertones. Noble hops emerge in the background as a subtle floral note, never dominating but adding complexity to the malt-forward bouquet. The overall impression is clean and composed, with no rough or unpleasant edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is spicy and full-bodied, with the malz character building immediately across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a slightly grainy texture balanced by soft caramel sweetness, giving the beer a rounder mouthfeel than lighter Kaiser offerings. The finish edges toward a gently bittersweet profile, with restrained noble hop bitterness holding the malz in equilibrium without aggression.
