Kellerbier Naturtrüb

Tap to rate

Based on the oldest recipe known to the house, which goes back to 1308, and drawn unfiltered from the lagering tank. It pours pale gold and naturally hazy on 11.7 degrees Plato. The yeast left in suspension gives a soft, bready note with a hint of fresh dough, and Hallertauer Herkules, Tradition and Spalter Select add a floral, herbal hop aroma with mild spice. Full-bodied and rounded, it ends on a gentle bitterness of 20 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kellerbier Naturtrüb

◎ Appearance

Pale gold in color with a natural haze characteristic of an unfiltered lagering beer drawn directly from the tank. The suspended yeast creates a soft, cloudy appearance that catches light with a gentle glow. Head retention is moderate, with fine bubbles that settle to a delicate lace along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, yeasty notes of fresh bread dough and subtle grain sweetness from the suspended yeast. Hallertauer Herkules, Tradition, and Spalter Select hops contribute a delicate floral character with herbal undertones and a whisper of white pepper spice. The overall impression is one of restrained elegance rather than assertive aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and rounded on the palate, with the bready, doughy character from the yeast prominently expressed. The mid-palate develops soft herbal and floral notes from the noble hops, complemented by a clean malt backbone. Bitterness arrives gently at 20 IBU, providing balance without aggression, and the overall mouthfeel remains smooth and approachable.
