Drinking one now. Yes on all fronts: bready, spicy bitter, sweet and soft. What works for me is the relative flavor depth and flavor balance.

Quite a few franconian Kellers easily top it, both bottled and on tap, in terms of fresh bready malt depth and spicy Hallertau hops and slightly terroir-ish yeast. But for a clean, technologically optimised Upper Bavarian Keller it’s very decent. Maybe a bit crisp for a Keller.
