Stuttgarter Hofbräu Kellerbier

Stuttgarter Hofbräu
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 114 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

An unfiltered, naturally hazy pale lager in a swing-top bottle, brewed from water, barley malt, hops and yeast with an original gravity of 11.5 °P. The yeast left in the beer gives a soft, bready body and a rounder mouthfeel than the filtered house beers. Fresh grain and bread lead the aroma, joined by a mild herbal and floral hop note, and the palate stays full yet fresh with a gentle, restrained bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stuttgarter Hofbräu Kellerbier

Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended yeast particles creating a soft, slightly opaque character typical of the Kellerbier style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with modest retention, displaying fine white lacing on the sides. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, contributing to an inviting, approachable visual presence.

Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fresh grain and soft bread notes, grounded by the active yeast still present in the bottle. Beneath these primary impressions, subtle herbal and delicate floral hop character emerge, offering a quiet complexity without dominating the palate. The overall aromatic profile remains clean and restrained, inviting further investigation.

Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied, with the residual yeast imparting a rounded, bready mouthfeel that distinguishes it from filtered house brews. Mid-palate exhibits balanced maltiness with sustained grain character, while a gentle, restrained bitterness arrives late and fades without harshness. The overall impression remains fresh and clean despite the fuller body, maintaining an approachable drinkability.
