Schlappeseppel Kellerbier

Tap to rate

Unfiltered and still carrying its yeast, Kellerbier tastes very soft, round and slightly spicy, with a fine bitter note in the finish. A light hop aroma and a mild yeast character round it off. 5.5% ABV from 12.5% original gravity. The name comes from bottling it unfiltered straight from the storage cellar. First attempts at filtering beer date from around 1880.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Schlappeseppel Kellerbier

◎ Appearance

Golden to pale amber in color with a distinctly hazy appearance, reflecting the unfiltered character typical of Kellerbier. The head is modest but persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Fine carbonation yields a soft, inviting mouthfeel without aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose carries a delicate hop presence, herbaceous and restrained rather than assertive. Beneath lies a mild yeast character derived from the suspended yeast sediment, contributing subtle fruity and slightly spicy notes. A faint bready backdrop from the pale Malz rounds out the bouquet without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, with gentle malty sweetness establishing the foundation. Mid-palate unfolds with a subtle spice character—likely from the yeast—balanced against restrained hop bitterness. The finish dries with a fine, lingering bitter note that cleanses without harshness, leaving a crisp, slightly grainy aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, fading gradually with a persistent dry, slightly crisp quality. The noble hop bitterness lingers pleasantly without becoming astringent, and a faint yeast character remains present in the aftertaste.
