Knoblach Urlager

◎ Appearance

Pours hazy light amber with copper tints, a visual signature of its unfiltered, bottle-conditioned nature. The coarse, off-white head forms generously and exhibits modest lacing on the glass. Bright sediment from living yeast is evident throughout, lending authenticity to this rustic Kellerbier.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with intense grainy and honey notes, supported by the earthy, slightly papery character of crispbread. Grassy and herbal hop notes weave through, with a faint citrus undertone that suggests noble or traditional Central European varieties. The yeast contributes a clean, slightly rustic character without vinous or solvent qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with light malt sweetness accented by apricot and subtle apple, layered over a soft syrupy foundation. Herbal and faintly citrus hops enter mid-palate, bringing structure without aggression. The finish transitions steadily drier and more bitter, with growing herbal grip that lingers without harshness.

◑ Finish

Medium-length, with a clean bitter fade and persistent herbal dryness. The bitterness builds gently rather than strikes, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for another sip.
