This collaboration with Sloop Brewing Company of East Fishkill, NY is the next offering in the Stowe-style series: a contemporary take on the traditional unfiltered lagers of Franconia, Germany. Brewed with Pilsner malt, wheat, and oars, this beer is dry-hopped with American Centennial and New Zealand Nectaron and Superdelic hops, and fermented with a thiolized lager yeast strain which accentuates bright and intense notes of tropical fruit, citrus rind, white grape, and guava.

Cloudy gold yellow pour from can. Earthy aroma with malt. Bready, raisin, hunts of citrus from the hops. Unusual

Pint can. Pours a hazy dark 24k gold color with a fair sized white head that has good retention and crazy lacing. The aroma is medium in strength with sweet biscuits, cookies, and a bit of grapefruit citrus. The taste, like the aroma, is sweet malts, grapefruit, cookies and a bit of bitter grapefruit. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes long and semi-sweet. Overall: Decent brew I very much enjoyed it--but I never would have guessed this was Kellerbier. Paired well with some north sea cheese (Nordseekase).

16 ounce can. Amber gold pour. Rocky white head leaves spotty lacing. Fresh herbal hop aroma hints at citrus. Fruity, malty flavor upfront. Notes of white grape, citrus peel and earthy malt. A hint of stone fruit as well. Bitter hops on backend. Dry finish.

Can, best before 1/15/25, drunk 10/1/24. Deep peach-bronze-maize. Large, beige head, well-retained. Clear. Some peachy fruitiness with a good bit of wood and grapefruit. Don't really love or understand the Centennial component here. Biscuit and cracker from the malt supports well enough and the beer is clean and quite hoppy. Substantial bitterness and it's rather bland and chalky/woody. You do get the peach, nectarine and other tropical fruits but it has to compete with this somewhat ruinous Centennial component. Malty texture with biscuit and dough and good attenuation. Definitely an IPL, though of course it's unfiltered and called Kellerbier, but it seems much farther removed from the historic kellerbier. Get rid of these ridiculous Centennial hops and maybe you have something closer and brighter.
