Bottle (purchased at the brewery) Straw golden coloured, "misty", lazy carbonation, pronounced aromatic hayish (or like freshly mowed grass) hoppy nose, delicate grainy dusty aromas in the background, not without a barnyardy tinge; solid, mainly bitter flavour, quite light bodied, soft MF; robust hoppy palemalty finish with a soft "tail". Superb franconian quality.... more an excellent Pilsener than a Kellerbier!

50cl bottle. Light hazy golden with a white head. Earthy, light hoppy, malty aroma. Hops, yeast, earth and grassy flavor. Solid beer, tasty.

50 cl bottle. Rated on 12.10.2009
Yellow colour, small and longlasting head. Aroma is stale with corn, grainy malt and hints of hay. Flavour has sweetish malt with hints of corn and hay. Decent.

My Bottom Line :
Frothy and slender, this quenching Kellerbier slowly builds herbal hop flavor and bitterness within straw-like cereals.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-Foam icing tops the misty golden.
-This must be a loosely filtered version of their Pils. Everything points to a textbook German Pilsener, and a good one at that, save for the light yeasty presence.
-Quite carbonated, the mouthfeel remains pleasant due to the soft impact of the bubbles upon the palate.
-There might be nothing distinctive in this Kellerbier (no countryside personality, for example), but it remains a great quencher like so many others in Franconia.
-Citrusy edges and slightly doughy yeast add depth.

On tap at a café on Ausstrasse, in Bamberg.

Pineapple-yellow color, slightly cloudy. Starts very fruity, slightly bitter. The finish is slightly earthy and grainy, with good aroma hops in the background!

Prägnant hopfig-bitterer Antrunk mit getreidig-wässrigem Ton. Der Hopfen kann sich im Verlauf durchsetzen, die vollmundige Bitterkeit zieht mit. Vollmundig, getreidig, grasig und gehaltvoll. Passt! 12/10/11/11//11

Bottle @ Bamberg. Pours clear golden with a large creamy white head and lacings. Grass and grain. Medium and smooth palate. Grassy and dry hop flavor. Some buiscuit and bread. Dry and hoppy end.

Bottle. Straw, barley malt aroma - light grass hops. Hazy pale yellow color with small head. Sweet barley malt flavor with a very strong straw and moderately bitter grassy hops aftertaste. Very nice palate. Excellent - a bottled beer that actually preserves the earthiness typical in this style.

It’s a slightly hazy golden beer with a huge, creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of malt, bread and straw- and grassy hops. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of malt, bread, straw, citrus and very light hints of butter. The finish is dry with notes of straw and citrussy hops.

draft at eichhorn in dörfleins. pillowy ice cream head on top of a lightly hazed dark gold body. nose of dried grass, lemon rind, hay and sweet corn. wonderfully rich and aromatic nose. a touch of green hop leaves and a creamy yeast-heavy texture is divine. frothy, medium to full body without being heavy. awesome beer.

Cloudy golden with a medium white head. Grassy hops hit the nose. Malty aroma with grassy hops and caramel notes. Flavour was sweet and malty with a lots of grassy hops. Nice bitterness towards the end. Quite full.
