1447 Kellerbier

Tap to rate

1447 Kellerbier is amber with a fine yeast haze and a white head. Unlike a classic Zwickel it is fermented with a top-fermenting English ale yeast used only for this beer; together with a hop chosen for it, that gives a fruity, fresh smell and taste with a citrus note. It drinks lively. Bitterness is 25 units at an original gravity of 12.5 %. The name refers to the year the brewery long regarded as its founding date.

◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes layered over a subtle fruity foundation—the signature of the English ale yeast employed exclusively for this beer. Behind these top notes sits a modest Malz undertone that grounds the profile without overwhelming it. The hop selection contributes a fresh, garden-like quality that invites repeated sniffing.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a lively, almost effervescent quality that dances across the tongue. Citrus and subtle fruit flavors unfold in the mid-palate, supported by a clean, understated malt sweetness at 12.5 °P. The 25 IBU bitterness arrives as a gentle, lingering counterpoint rather than a sharp edge, maintaining balance throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the citrus notes fading gradually into a faint malt dryness. The bitterness persists without harshness, encouraging another sip.
