Nov 22, 2009 Bottle, seemingly a touch on the aged side. Aroma of light banana and clove, lots of cereals, grassy and leafy hops. Flavor continues to have lots of cereals with strong bitter hop character. A touch of cardboard reveals its age, and perhaps kept this from being stellar for me, but was still very much enjoyable.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy light orange with a small, thick white head. Aroma of skunk and sweet lager malt. Flavor of sweet lager malt, some stale malt, with some spices (peppery) and some lavender. Not a great kellerbier, but perhaps it would be better a little fresher? Still drinkable and enjoyable.

Nov 16, 2009 750ml from State Line Liquors. Nice pour, clean and lively, somewhat darker than I’d expected. Tremendously crisp aroma of yeast and dry hops, a lovely earthy bouquet that is very appealing (berries and hard cheese to go with, anyone?). Soft but abundant carbonation, very full mouthfeel, it’s almost like a sipper keller, improbably. Full flavor with a slight tang and a leafy finish. Very well done.

Nov 16, 2009 Pours deep gold into a stein. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet cookie aromas. Sweet malts upfront turning to bitter hops in the dry, lasting finish.

Nov 10, 2009 Hazy golden pour with a thick white head. The nose is lightly crackery and a bit sweet with a distinct autolyzed yeast component. A little bit of honey and some crackery base malt as well. Meh, this seems to have been good once, but it’s well past it’s prime.

Nov 6, 2009 grassy aroma. Pours a cloudy brown-gold, high carbonation, big foamy head. Light, sweet flavour. Grassy, with drying bitter finish. Refreshing.

Nov 1, 2009 750 ml corked and caged bottle poured a hazy golden amber with a lasting ivory head. Aromas of bread, light fruittiness, light earthiness and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, fruittiness, light spice and light yeast with a crisp fruity finish.

Oct 30, 2009 750ml bottle from K&L Redwood City, enjoyed with a dinner of käsespätzle cooked by an actual German person (hell yeah!). Poured into Bruery tulip - clear golden-straw with a large, frothy white head. Aroma is pale malt, grain, floral and grassy hops, yeast, and a little pepper. Flavor is floral, grassy, herbal, peppery, and yeasty with bready pale malt and some grain. This beer comes off as really unfiltered and rough, in a good way. I like it. Palate is crisp with medium-light body and some prickly carbonation. Very nice for the style.
