Inspired by traditional Bavarian techniques, Kellerweis is a true artisan experience. With Kellerweis, we brew in open fermentation tanks—a process rarely seen today—to let the ingredients truly shine. The result is a hazy wheat ale—untamed, raw and alive. With a full, fruity aroma and notes of spicy clove and banana bread, Kellerweis is a truly unique brew.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 10A). Bottle 35.5 cl - batch 082014 C217:39. AROMA: wheat aroma with notes of bubblegum and some banana. APPEARANCE: dark gold color and hazy. thin white head with low retention. TASTE: faint bubblegum, banana and vanilla with a wheat background. low bitterness with a semi-sweet and wheaty finish. PALATE: medium-low body with below average carbonation. OVERALL: a not so bad german-style hefeweizen.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy orange gold color sports a moderate Rocky white head. Rich yeasty wheat malt nose. Zesty wheat malt flavor redolent of lemon and cloves. Salty and peppery spice in mid taste. Tart and refreshing. Long yeasty lemon peel finish.

Hazy orange color with white head that goes down quickly. Smell of citrus, spices. Nice spiciness and a hint of sourness. Carbonation and texture is silky. A Weizen-based beer this is definitely, but more on the citrus side. Unusual for a Hefeweizen. Not a bad beer though.

Draft pour at special brews. Poured appropriately into its own individual glassware. Always a good start. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a huge foamy head. Kind of an odd wet dog like aroma. Wish I was kidding. Well, it’s different. I’ll put it that way. Flavor is dry, mild, and mostly empty. The most flavor comes in centuries into the late palate (exaggeration). Soft grains, and mild fruit. Weird beer for me, but what do I know. Not so much for me.

Bottle. Nose is cloves, banana, orange, barley (odd), slight wheat. Taste is malt, banana, slight clove, wheat, the strange orange note, leading to a surprisingly bitter note, and a dry yeasty spiced finish. Mouthfeel is too carbonated. This didn’t have the right taste profile for a hefeweizen (though it’s a style in which I am only a dabbler in), and was a bit bland.
