500 ml from the Costco Advent calendar. Aroma is bready, caramel. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet with faint bitterness, finishing dry. Peppery, bready sweet flavors. Nothing wrong with the palate. Too sweet for me.

Can behind day 24 of the Costco Advent Calendar. It pours cloudy orangey - gold with a decent fluffy white. The aroma is fresh and full of rich malty action, rustic bread, biscuit, cereal, light sweetness, tangy lemon curd, custard creams, leafy malt and cereal. The taste is dry and firm initially, then it has a sweet bready vibe, cereal, biscuit, rich tea and custard creams, touch of spice, doughy, grass and grain with a smooth, doughy finish. Medium body and fine to moderate, massaging carbonation. Hearty and bready, smooth and moreish. Lovely stuff.

Half liter can from the Costco Advent calendar. Doughy malt nose, fresh baked bread, herbal hops, light citrus, yeasty esters. Rich malty flavor, yeasty dough rising. Hazy bright gold with a tall head. Sweet flavor, estery, doughy, citrus, herbs.Relatively full in body, low carbonation. Not quite up there with the best Franconian kellerbiers, at least in this form, but hey, in a can it's mighty satisfying.

Kalea Bier-Adventkalender 01.12.2021 (Restl-Version von Hofer, weil ich zu spät bestellt habe...) Gleich hinter dem ersten Türchen sitzt das diesjährige Perlenzauber, das schon einmal ziemlich grauslich, aber letztes Jahr ausgezeichnet war. Das heurige würde ich als oberes Mittelfeld bezeichnen. Es lässt sich angenehm trinken und hat nette Hopfennoten und es hat ein harmonisches Mundgefühl, aber irgendwie fehlt das gewisse Extra. Ich kann nichts schlechtes über das Bier schreiben, aber auch nichts das es außergewöhnlich gut war.

Can, labelled as 5.4% ABV. The Kalea mixed pack from Aldi. Gold with an inch of white head and a slight haze. Mild biscuity aroma with lemon, some spices and grass. Biscuity and a bit grainy - pleasantly rustic - before nicely decisive bitterness sweeps in and demands another swig. Pretty good.
