Kitchen Brew Kellerbier

Tap to rate

Wonderfully malty and easy-drinking: Kitchen Brew calls this unfiltered pale beer a Kellerbier, since Kellerbiere are drawn straight from the tank in the lager cellar. 5.2 % ABV, Pilsner and Munich malt with pale wheat malt and Mandarina Bavaria hops, top-fermented from a 12.5° Plato wort. A limited edition poured on draught at the brewery since April 2026.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kitchen Brew Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden amber, characteristic of an unfiltered Kellerbier drawn fresh from the tank. The cloud arises from suspended yeast and protein rather than oxidation, lending a soft, inviting opacity. A fine, persistent head with good adhesion to the glass demonstrates adequate carbonation and protein stability.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft Pilsner and Munich malt, accompanied by a whisper of pale wheat malt that adds gentle breadiness. Mandarina Bavaria hops contribute a subtle citrus undertone—more restrained than assertive—while a clean fermentation profile from the top-working yeast keeps the overall impression fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens malty and smooth, with the Pilsner providing a crisp backbone while Munich malt brings a touch of caramel sweetness without cloying. Wheat adds a silky texture and gentle bread crust note. Bitterness (28 IBU) remains polite, balancing the malt rather than dominating, while Mandarina Bavaria's citrus hints emerge in the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

Medium-dry and clean, with the malt warmth fading gracefully into a gentle citrus echo. The aftertaste remains refreshing, free of astringency or oxidative notes, typical of a freshly drawn cellar beer.
