Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), with a light note of lemon juice. Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. One of the most characterless beers I’ve had in Germany thus far. Well before the BB date, but extremely thin-bodied and watery with very little aroma or flavor. Not worty like Jeff’s sample but just...well...nothing much at all.

500ml bottle (HBF2013, Saturday) - not sure if this is the right beer, my notes say Zoikelbier de Greiss Keller
Lovely soft grainy aroma. Dry crisp body, loads of light grains. Very well attenuated. Gentle hops in the finish, a touch woody. Nice, full of life and uplifting.

On tap, Zly Casy, Prague, 2012. 11. 01. Béla szerint selymes, lágy, szerintem kicsit karcos.

Keg at Zly Casy. Hazy Golden with a white head. Lots of bitterness and a bit of sherbet flavour made this an interesting beer which I really enjoyed.

Draught at Gallow’s Bird, Espoo. Poured pale copper in color with a very thin bubbly white head. Sweet butterscotch and velvet candy in aroma. Flavour is mostly butterscotch, some more sweet brown sugar and hints of very light hoppyness. Smooth and feels like velvet while drinking. Very enjoyable. Light hoppy finish. Nice one.

Bottle poured into a ceramic mug. I must have had an off bottle. Weird sweetness, some floral notes, and off grainy notes.

Blonde body with a small white head. Aroma is freshmade bread, citrus. Taste is citrus again, slightly hoppy. Dry finish

Yellow colour, very clear for a keller. Sweet with a slightly bitter finish, notes of dough, banana and pepper. Very drinkable.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 26 April 2012) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with bread, grass and tropical fruit. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of grass, bread, tropical fruit, toffee, chewy malt and a generous grassy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Very fresh and very tasty. Excellent kellerbier.
