Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: pale yellow cloudiness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to grassy hops with a nice light bready maltiness to it, sly peppery scent
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bready sweet tone and underscored by a little bit of that noted pepper; finishes crisp with the noted floral to grassy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness, good carb level
Overall: as far as I know a nicely done Kellerbier, I think I could come back to.

Can (7/6/23) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. Hazy pale yellow with fine particulate mist, trace sparkle, decent size head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is Pilsner malt with floral hops. Taste is strong pilsner malt. Smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Not a favorite style but well crafted.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt, bread, hops, grass and has a nice sweet malty finish.

16 oz can. Aromas bread dough, light pepper, and mild yeast. Flavor shows me moderate biscuit/ bready backbone. Light-moderate pepper on the finale. Also subtle honey, and lager yeast. Not very complex. However usually the style isn’t. Easy enough to drink.

Draft at Fox Street, pours a clear gold, white head. Nose is solid, grainy, corny, dough, grass. Flavor has all of that, corn, dough, grass, grain. Crisp, dry finish. Really drinkable. Great for the style. 8 3 8 5 14
