Licher 1854 Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

Licher 1854 pours a hazy golden yellow, true to its unfiltered character and heritage style. A fine, delicate white head forms and lingers with light retention. The gentle carbonation and cloudiness from suspension suggest a living, unpasteurized beer in the traditional Kellerbier manner.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe grain and soft malty sweetness, followed by fresh orchard fruit—yellow summer apples and citrus notes. Delicate blossoming herbs emerge in the background, adding a subtle herbal complexity without aggressive hop character.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and smooth, with gentle malt sweetness balanced against restrained bitterness at 21 IBU. The palate unfolds with juicy apple and grapefruit fruit esters, a hint of breadiness, and clean, crisp finishing sensations that keep the beer refreshing rather than heavy.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with lingering malty sweetness fading to a crisp, herbaceous dryness. A balanced aftertaste confirms the beer's drinkability and period-authentic restraint.
