◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with a soft haze from suspended yeast, presenting a naturally cloudy character true to the Kellerbier style. The head is modest but persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and gentle, befitting an unfiltered lager kept at cellar temperature.

◌ Aroma

A pronounced yeasty note dominates the nose, with earthy and slightly sulfurous undertones characteristic of live yeast in suspension. Beneath lies a clean, grainy malt foundation with faint bread-crust suggestions. Noble hop character is restrained, contributing only a whisper of herbal crispness without demanding attention.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and full-bodied, the residual extract creating a substantial mouthfeel that belies the moderate 4.8% ABV. Yeast-driven flavors persist through the mid-palate—bready and slightly vegetal—while a delicate, non-aggressive bitterness (25 IBU) arrives late and fades cleanly. The finish is smooth and refreshing, with no harsh edges.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers briefly with residual bread and grain notes, then yields to a crisp, quenching sensation. No astringency or off-flavors interrupt the departure.
