Gold with a surging, sudsy, white head. Aroma full of herbs, lemon peel and dough. Taste is bitter with a white bread sweetness underneath. Crisp, bitter finish that’s both grainy and herbal. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, smooth and delicate feel. Good one.

Bottle at the bar at the brewery. Clear deep amber colour lasting cream head. Hoppy aroma. Some sherbet hop. Hoppy throughout. Quite unusual. The sherbet hop thing. Smoke maltiness. There is an aroma that i know and can't place. Some bread or malt. Its decent. Clean. Just a little different to other kellerbiers. Odd. Nice but odd.

0,5 l bottle from kapldav123. Thanks a lot! Cloudy pale golden in the glass with a steady nearly two finger whote foamy head in the glass. Now listed with 5.1% abv. Grainy with caramel and citrus on the nose. Taste is dry citrus with grain and increasing hop bitterness. Malt in the background. Above average carbonated. Long lasting bitter hop in the aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Starts mild, malty, a bit moldy. More and more fresh hoppy, fruity hints of lemon, some peaches. Bitter soapy background. Finish could be a bit more balanced. Not bad.

Bottle, 5.5%, drunk while grilling after bringing home half a ton of drywall and insulation in the Caddy. Medium reddish gold, nice lasting head. Slightly sweet nose, hints of caramel and honey with citrus and pine. Wow it's tasting a bit like a mild red ale with American hop varieties, though it seems from the label grown here in DE. Nice one! Might be a new recipe as the last one says 4.9. Well balanced and tasty.

Greif-Bräu Hopfstar, Kellerbier kaltgehopft mit Mandarina Bavaria, jetzt mit 5,5 %, Flasche von den Getränkerittern, Wendelstein. - Laut Verkäufer mit neuem Rezept bzw. neuer Hopfensorte - leider habe ich mir keine Einzelheiten gemerkt. - Kupfergoldbraun, leicht trüb. - In der Nase feine exotische Hopfung, herbsüße Mandarine, Anklänge an Karamel und Honig. - Antrunk satt zitrusfruchtig, saftige Mandarine, ebenso süß wie bitter, sehr angenehm. Leise karamelliges Malz von sehr dezenter Restsüße, rote Beeren, Tabak. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang runde zitrusfruchtige und leise krautige Hopfenherbe. - Sehr schönes, aromatisch aber nicht übertrieben exotisch gehopftes Kellerbier, schmackhaft und süffig. Das 1. Forchheimer Craftbeer trägt diese Bezeichnung zu Recht. (23.10.2022.)
