Good, dense yellowish head over clear metallic golden beer. Herbal, herb,straw, gorse, partly toasted malts. Malts, toasted and bit peppery. Sweeter finish, going towards cornflakes. Aftertaste however, is lean, bitterish and wet cardboard. Quite slick, not very carbonated, light body. Bit disappointing. Txs to Stef!

Not sure if I've ever tasted a keller-weizen, so pretty curious as to how this could potentially surprise me. Straight out the gate, this pours a much different color than a hefeweizen, unclear amber, with a huge white head that's very stable. Scent is banana alright, but with a caramelly background. No real cloves (yet), Amber malt-like crispy, breadcrust like features. Wheat is less straight forward. Taste is full, toasty, caramelly, banana, crisp and fresh, breadcrust. Man, i actually enjoy this way more than I thought I would, not being a particular fan of hefeweize. Still not a favorite beer of mine, this one, but certainkly a lot more to my liking than I had thought. The caramelly, breadcrust, ambermalty crisp really ligts it up, though the beer remains quite sweet and ester heavy.

Swingtop bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear yellow, a bit to the pale side with a lacing, white head. Almost a decent Lager aroma with a hint of malt and sulphur. Thin and watery, but aromatic noble hops and very discreet wort accents. Very subdued bitterness. 120725

0,5 l, swingtop bottle.
Brownish color, cloudy, with the usual naturtrüb taste and aroma. Nothing special, but it's a solid choice on a warm summer evening :D

Old rating - Pours a deep brown with a creme head that leaves lacings. Aromas of caramel malt. Tastes sweet caramel malt, fig, prune and hints of the alcohol. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Not an easy one to consume, but one to sip. A grower.

Optisch dunkles Gold im Glas, Schaum passt. In der Nase Malz, Getreide. Im Trunk Karamell, köstlich im
Antrunk, süß, wässrig. Spät etwas gehaltvoller, wenn auch langweilig.
