Small yellowish, rather dense head over hazy ochre beer. -1 point for slow gushing. Pure malt, fresh, tasty, faint yeast wafts, green leaves, summer wheat fields. Bitter-ish with a good just-not-sweetish malt backbone. Again those green leaves, bark. Hints of pine/resin. Gristslik - but light body. Finish is seriously bitter-resiny. A monument, IMHO. The Annafest goes a notch up on my bucket list. Txs to Joren for bringing!

Hazy golden/amber. Aroma is very fine grassy hops with some also fine malt. Very balanced. Taste is rather herbal harsh hop bitterness. Also quite minerally. Could be sweeter for my taste but still nice.

Bottle picked up from Sulzberger Bierhaus, Pffafenhofen an der Ilm and consumed at home Tuesday 9th August 2022 sat outside listening Nemone standing in for Steve Lamaq on 6 Music. We have Lax Pudding for tea tonight. Pours hazy burnished gold with a white head. Soft moutheel, a little honey sweeteness, some cereal, malty than anticipated. Quite good but the hoppiness is a little bit subtle.

500 ml bottle. Unclear dark golden, foamy fluffy head. Grassy notes, herbal hops, hay, straw, tangerine. Hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry hoppy bitter finish. Decent Kellerpils!

Bottle. Hazy golden-orange color with creamy white head. Aroma is tangerines, grassy, floral, bready yeasts. Taste is bready yeasts, grassy, floral, nice sticky Mandarina flavors in the back and aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Quite a nice hoppy Kellerbier, Green Monk style (though not quite as sticky).

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A slightly hazy amber beer with a mid-sized good lasting off-white head. Aroma of mild grassy hops, toasted malt, caramel. Taste of mild fruity hops, caramel, cereals, mild bitterness.
