Scheffel Trunk

Tap to rate

A Franconian Kellerbier poured from May to August and named after the 19th-century poet Victor von Scheffel. It stands golden orange with a light yeast haze under a long-lasting white head. Citrus and grass drift over the nose, followed by malt. On the palate grain, bread, sweetness, honey, caramel and vanilla play together before a pleasant bitterness with a clear echo.

A clean, herbal bitterness arrives midway through and carries into the finish with measured intensity. The interplay between sweetness and bitterness is well-balanced and refined.
