Kaiser Hofquell

Tap to rate

Kaiser Hofquell is an unfiltered, naturally cloudy beer from Hofbräu Kaltenhausen, brewed from barley and wheat malt. It pours golden under a fine white head. The taste is fresh and malty, with bready grain and a slightly creamy note that the wheat share brings along, while a subtle hop note stays in the background. The body is fuller than the moderate strength suggests, and the finish is clean.

◐ Taste

On the palate, a malty foundation unfolds with pronounced bready grain and a slightly creamy texture that wheat malt contributes. The body is fuller and more substantial than the moderate 4.6% ABV might suggest, while subtle hop bitterness provides gentle balance without assertiveness. The flavor remains fresh and approachable throughout, with no sharp edges or astringency.
