🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 142 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Bürgerbräu Kellertrunk is an unfiltered, naturally cloudy cellar beer that joined the range around 2016. It pours a hazy, yeasty gold that tips toward light amber under a firm, fine head. The nose recalls freshly malted grain and bread dough. The palate is mild and very soft, with gentle malt sweetness and a rounded, yeasty body; a faint spicy hop note shows early, and the close is short and only lightly bitter.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sternquell Bürgerbräu Kellertrunk

Pours a hazy, yeasty gold that shifts toward light amber in bright light, characteristic of an unfiltered cellar beer. A firm, fine head forms and persists with good retention. The natural cloudiness from suspended yeast is pronounced and integral to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is gentle and grain-forward, with freshly malted grain and bread dough as the primary notes. A subtle earthiness underpins the profile, while the yeast character adds a soft, slightly doughy warmth without aggressive phenolics. Hop aromatics remain restrained, allowing malt and fermentation character to dominate.
