Pours translucent brown/yellow with a thin off-white head. Nose is caramel malt and lightly floral notes. Flavor of caramel, cookie, with more floral hops, but very understated. Slightly oily, watery mouthfeel. Becomes a bit chalky as it warms. Quite yummy.

Sep 9, 2008 500 ml bottle thanks to Jason for bringing this back from Sacramento. Yeast and malt on the nose, Similar flavors with some sweet lemon citrus on the finish. Just ok, but refreshing.

Sep 9, 2008 Glass poured fresh from 5L party keg. Never seen a kellerbier anywhere outside Germany, this is certainly a treat! Pours an enticing chuck-laden murky copper body with a moderate dense white head leaving clumpy lace on the way down. Sweet malt on the nose, caramelly and toasty, some musty dried fruit, earthy spice and bread. Lively carbonation, moderate body, has a somewhat appealing grittiness about the texture. Toasty malt body, sweet toffee and fresh baked bread, orange citrus and musty dried apricot, spicy almost like a Belgian towards the finish. Reasonably bitter with a lingering drying spice and breadiness. Big fan of this style, wish it were more common place downunder. Quite a nice beer overall too.

Sep 5, 2008 1 pint .9 fl oz swing top bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas City, MO. Pour is a cloudy brown golden with a great bubbly settling and a 1 inch tan head. Aroma of sweet fruit and bready maltiness. Very much a toasted caramel sweetness. Big, full nose and pretty syrupy. Taste is sweet and syrupy. Caramel is there, still toasted but there is now an orange syrup sweetness as well. The palate is nice, unfiltered and mouth coating. Very low carbonation. Overall, interesting, but a bit more syrupy sweetness than I like.

Sep 4, 2008 Murky looking, straw coloured body with short head. Yeasty aroma along with a little bit of toffee, a little bit more of the malts showing in the taste making it very drinkable.

Sep 1, 2008 clear dark brown pour, but then i swirled in some of the sediment, and got s nice cloudy brown. A nice full beige head, and some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is bready, and biscuity, quite nice. Nice full bodied lager, a good amount of malt in the flavour with some nicy roasty notes, and that great chewy breadiness. Super drinkable, excellent stuff.
