Rittmayer Kellerbier

Tap to rate

Ripe fruit and a gentle roasted-malt sweetness shape this slightly dark Franconian Keller beer; the nose is fruity and malty with fine hop notes, the palate fresh and malty with fruit, roast and hop aromas. Brewed with light and dark barley malt, roasted malt and Tettnang hops, full-bodied with a fine freshness, dark amber in colour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe orchard fruit—stone fruit and subtle berries—layered beneath warm, grainy malt sweetness. Noble hop character emerges as a refined floral and herbal counterpoint, while a whisper of toasted grain rounds out the aromatic profile without any sharp roasted edges.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and malty, with a seamless blend of light and dark barley contributions that build gentle roasted complexity on the mid-palate. Fruity esters and a restrained noble-hop bitterness (25 IBU) create balance without dominance, while a fresh, clean character runs through the entire tasting experience.
