Clear gold beer, good bubbly off white head. Airy smooth palate, a mild dryness, good fine carbonation. Airy pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, some natural grain and a little German sweet nuttyness. The hops bring floral spice and a little sweetness and, the lightest touch of mandarinish citrus. Light finish shows a whisper of something estery. Tidy.

Star anise, cinnamon, allspice, tea and clove. Thanks Georg P.

"Schanzenbräu Whiskybock", Fläschchen (MHD: 24.2.26) von den unbesiegbaren Getränkerittern, 3.12.2025. - Einen Doppelbock hatte der (die?) Schanzenbräu bislang nicht im Sortiment. Nun gleich ein faßgereifter - ich bin gespannt! - Tiefdunkles Rotbraun, trüb; rasch schwindender Schaum. - Nase enttäuschend flach, fruchtig süßsauer und herb (Sauerkirsche), kaum wahrnehmbare Whiskynote. - Antrunk herbsäuerlich dunkelmalzig mit Sauerkirschsaft und matter holziger Herbe. Hopfenaromen suche ich vergeblich, trotz dumpf herber Grundierung; aber auch Alkohol ist kaum zu ahnen. Matt kirschig-herb klingt das Gebräu aus. - Rätselhaft, was der Braumeister uns damit sagen wollte. Mit einem Bock hat das jedenfalls kaum Ähnlichkeit, eher mit einem Sauerbier.

Sampled as Kehlengold Kellerpils Thick, ever so slightly yellowish head, stable, over clear, deeper golden beer. Grassy, garden weeds, spring leaves and a whiff of honey. Bitterish, again grassy, slight grainy/pale malty sweetness, but finish is more bitter again, faintly metallic. Quite gristslick, medium carbonation, rather light body, if certainly not empty. Decent Pilsner. Txs to Stef!
