Flensburger Kellerbier
Flensburger Brauerei

Copenhagen 7/5 2018. 33 cl swing-cap bottle from Edeka, Damp. Flensburger's usual design with a ship and a couple of Lions - this time on a red and orange background.

Pours hazy orange amber with medium sized white head. Settles as 1,5 cm thick layer of foam obscuring the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is sweet and malty. Sweet malts and kind of bready. Light sour bitter notes. Quite strong for a Kellerbier.

Texture is slightly thick.

Flavor is medium sweet followed by weak bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a very discrete bitter afterburn.

Not bad for a relaxed after-work drink on a hot Spring day. But not much else.

330ml swingtop bottle served in a hotel old fashioned glass. Bought it a few hours ago at the Hamburg airport Edeka. Date on the bottle is 16.02.25.

Pours a moderately hazy light amber with a medium sized, maybe one centimeter head that settles into a thick, even 2mm or so cap. Moderate active carbonation sustaining it. Smell is grain, grain tea, honey, musty/dusty character.

Taste is grainy, earthy, a little more of that musty/dustiness. Husky grains.

Mouthfeel is rich and thick but not sticky or heavy. Overall, it's pretty solid.

330 ml swingtop bottle, bought at a border shop near Flensburg. ABV is 4.8%. Hazy brownish golden to amber colour, large white head. Moderate aroma of malts (including a hint of mild roastiness) and woodwork, hints of herbs. The flavour is malty without being very sweet, again with mild roasty and woody notes, herbal hops and some fruit in the finish. Not bad.

From the flip top bottle, it pours a hazy color with a nice white head that briefly lasts and then settles down to a thin layer. Light scent with tones of malt, caramel and yeast. Taste follows nose, taste is pleasant, a bit malty with notes of caramel and a bite of yeast.

A: Lovely murky orange pour with a soo thick and creamy enormous off-white head, that slowly sets into great lacings.

S: Grass, grain and nettles. Malty and bitter hoppy.

T: Malt, dry rather than sweet. Buttery. Grass and nettles together with bitter hops balances each other.

M: Long bitter dry aftertaste. Body is medium and carbonation the same. A bit creamy and very smooth!

O: Yet another nice product from Flensburg - I must go there!

It's a cloudy brown beer with decent lacing and head, but the smell was far too buttery and I also thought the taste was over malted--a lot of caramel for a Kellerbier, not nearly enough yeast!

The mouthfeel was also sort of insubstantial. Still a decent beer and I might buy it again, but nothing I would go out of my way for.

330 ml bottle from Hamburg

Colour is deep gold/almost brown with dense slightly off-white head which in thin layer remains for a considerable time and lots and lots of small carbonation bottles. Leaves nice lacing.

Aroma is strong and malty, some notes of straw. Taste is malty, with lots of caramel, some bitterness can be felt in the aftertaste. The beer feels quite smooth and creamy with medium carbonation.

The colour is medium browned; the liquid is clear. The tow finger white head leaves some lacing.

The smell is malty and quite powerful. Some hints of aroma hops, some roasted malt. Butter. It smells pleasantly.

The taste is very malty and a little sourish. There are lots of toffee/butter-s of diacetyl (flavours. The aftertaste got lots of diacetyl (butterscotch/butter/toffee)

The carbonation is medium strong. The liquid a little creamy.

I am not very familiar with Kellerbiers, but this was a very pleasant session lager.
