VON TRAPP KELLER LAGER
Classic German lager retains robustness despite light body. Muskily cellared mineral graining, husked maize dryness and floral lemon twist glide over herbal hop astringency with dead-on precision.
BRIX CITY WILLIAMS KELLERBIER – CASK
On cask at Andy’s Corner Bar, light stylish cellar funk, sedate raw-honeyed orange pith bittering and wispy fennel herbage sit atop wheat cracker bed of soft-toned, creamy-headed, warm-watered German-styled lager. Bottled non-cask version shown below.
FOREIGN OBJECTS DIE DEUTSCHER HALTUNG KELLER PILSNER
On tap at Poor Henry’s, German pilsner-styled kellerbier brings stylish ‘rustic earthiness’ to biscuity sourdough breading, grassy hop astringency and musky floral-perfumed citrus murk. Hazy orange amber hue is richer than the liquid contained.
JACK’S ABBEY FIRE IN THE HAM KELLERBIER
Lemony hop spritz dovetails meat-cured beechwood kilning of kellerbier-inspired rauchbier (with floating yeast clumps). Cereal-grained citrus spicing of lagered yeast kellerbier blends fairly well with campfire-doused rauchbier styling. In the midst, brown-sugared smoked ham and bacon sweetness picks up boggy peat mossing.
RIGHT PROPER BEING THERE KELLERBIER
On tap at Ambulance, lightly lactic kellerbier (a.k.a. German zwickel) lets celery-watered lemon zest soak light white-peppered heat and grassy earthiness. Wispy lemongrass-hibiscus snips sneak in.
BAMBERGER MAHR’S UNGESPUNDET HEFETUB
On tap at George Keeley’s, dry golden-bronzed Bavarian zwickel brings musty orange-dried tartness, mild raw-honeyed acridity and herbal Hallertau hop bittering to dewy earthen-grained rye breading.
URBAN CHESTNUT ZWICKELBIER
On tap at Ambulance, flagship German lager retains stylish light-bodied Bavarian simplicity with its sour lemon-rotted wisp, earthen mineral graining and subtle Hallertau hop bittering. But its delicate pilsner malting picks up slight vegetal disturbance before getting soapy.
HOFBRAUHAUS TRAUNSTIEN 1612ER ZWICKELBIER
Effervescent Bavarian-styled moderation brings soft-toned citric-candied acidity to raw-honeyed lemon rot souring and brisk mineral watered crisping. Gentle grassy hop dryness and mild coriander spicing caress yellow-fruited simplicity.
(HOFSTETTER) HOCHZEITSBIER VON 1810
Glutenous wheat creaming and sourdough yeast sugaring buttress medium body that’s not far removed from Austrian brewer’s Kubelbier Zwickel. Light hop spicing affects honey-soured plantain astringency as well as contrasting banana, marmalade and orange compote sweetness. Buttery Chardonnay and vanilla undertones saddle the backend of marzen-styled German.
ARCOBRAU ZWICKL
Approachable yellow-hazed pale lager brings fizzy peppered spicing to dry-grained breading and mild lemony orange caress. Vegetal celery and asparagus illusions linger below crisply elegant moderate-bodied sedation.
HOFSTETTEN KUBELBIER
Spry orange-peach mist and sharp-hopped mineral graining enrich cloudy amber moderate-bodied zwickel (an unfiltered bottom-fermenting German-styled lager). Baked bread-y sourdough finish almost conceals tidy butterscotch sweetness.
