This is how the brewers prefer to drink their beer: when pinching (in German called 'zwicklen') straight from the tank. The beer is cloudy, strong in smell and taste and full-bodied due to the natural ingredients of the raw materials contained in this beer.

Can, labelled as 5.4% ABV. The Kalea mixed pack from Aldi. Gold with an inch of white head and a slight haze. Mild biscuity aroma with lemon, some spices and grass. Biscuity and a bit grainy - pleasantly rustic - before nicely decisive bitterness sweeps in and demands another swig. Pretty good.

Kalea. One of Silke‘s fifty. Amber with a frothy, white head. Aroma of mixed grains, metals, dough. A hint of apricot jam. Taste has a mild, dough sweetness up front, dry and mildly herbal bitter at the back. Medium bodied, moderate to mild carbonation. Okay.

Very crisp and almost perfectly clear golden coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying pure white head that leaves a small layer after a few seconds. Aroma of crisp grain, some subdued lemons and citrus elements with a dash of yeast, bread and also a noticeable bit of earthy and rustic elements, but still relatively mild for the style. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp, dry and very grainy notes with a lot of malt, some very subdued but noticeable citrusey flavours with a dash of earthiness that leaves a slightly nutty and floral finish, without much sweetness or complexity and no hops. Aftertaste shows some additional grainy notes with a softer profile and light sweetness, with no hops in the nose or actual flavours, but only some rustic earthiness and nutty flavours that bring anything different than the malts. Overall, a decent enough keller with some light floral and rustic notes, but pretty much on 'schedule' with the grainy bite and pure malt profile the strongest throughout. I sampled this 50 cL can, from Day #2 of the Costco 2020 Advent Calendar, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia sampled at my house here in Washington on 02-December-2020.

Seriously a solid kellerbier. Touch of lemon, and awesome raw barley profile. Crispier than burnt bacon. Golden pour with initial fluffy white foam head that doesn't stick around long. Very clean, dry bitter finish. I'd drink jugs and jugs of this one. Can Zwei from der Kalendar.
