🌍 Austria · Kellerbier · One of 130 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Kaltenhauser Kellerbier is the unfiltered, bottom-fermented lager of the house, drawn straight from the maturation tank. It pours a naturally cloudy, deep golden yellow under a firm, creamy head. The nose brings a soft yeasty freshness, malt and a light floral hop touch; the palate is rounded and full, with bready grain, a subtle malt sweetness and a moderate, gently drying hop bitterness, and the finish stays clean and softly grainy without hop bite.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kaltenhauser Kellerbier

Appearance

A naturally cloudy deep golden yellow beneath a firm, creamy head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The unfiltered character presents a soft haze from suspended yeast and grain particles, while adequate carbonation supports a stable foam collar. The overall presentation speaks to its cellar-fresh provenance, drawn uncompromised from the maturation tank.

Aroma

The nose opens with soft yeasty freshness and a rounded malt character that anchors the profile. A light floral hop touch emerges on the mid-palate, offering subtle herbal notes without aggression. The overall bouquet is restrained and inviting, with no sharp edges—a hallmark of well-integrated, unhurried cellaring.

Taste

The palate enters with a full-bodied, bready grain foundation and subtle malt sweetness that unfolds evenly across the mid-palate. A moderate, gently drying hop bitterness arrives without bite, balancing the malt without overwhelming it. The texture is creamy and smooth, with enough carbonation to cleanse between sips while preserving the rounded mouthfeel.
