Buttenheimer Keller Bier
St. Georgenbräu

 

 

 

I had this on draft 8/1/25 @ the Hopleaf.

Semi-opaque dark orange appearance.

Huge khaki head; nice lacing remained.

Strawberry & soft grain notes in the nose.

Soft, medium mouthfeel.

Soft grain & mild strawberry flavors.

Mild, fruity & enjoyable. I'd have another.

Appearance - darker amber colour with white head

Smell - grains, bready, apple

Taste - bread and cracker

Mouthfeel - Medium Bodied, medium carbonation, funky finish

Overall - this beer was just okay, it has some sort of a funky aftertaste, not sure how old this was but I am unsure about a re-visit.

 

Can from John’s (auto buy on first sight). Poured into glass. Much darker than expected for keller - that and the taste must be from oak. No head.

 

I gotta say I expected something slightly different BUT I loved it.

Just as the description says, this beer was brewed according to the 1624 recipe. Beer had quite dark color back and was typically unfiltered then. This one has a beautiful translucent copper color, very lovely. Nice white foam. It did recede rather quickly though.

A pronounced malty aroma, notes of rye bread.

The state is elegantly malty but not overwhelming. Some hop presence in the finish, more like a dark lager.

Worthy.

 

 

Half liter bottle dated best by 13.07.24. Pours a beautiful copper color. Caramelized malt, sweet ripe fruit, some booze. Really great flavor. Grain, field, meadow, yeast. Another obvious Kellerbier. A darker, filtered, richer beer. Truly great cellar beer. Delicious.

Picked up a 16 oz single from the Appalachian Vintner 2-1-23 for $5.08. No canning date, consumed 12-10-23. Cold stored since purchase.

Beer poured gold with a gorgeous white head that has some major hang time.

Nose has notes of bread and crackers.

Taste is bread and crackers forward, some honey, and finishes with a grassy hop that balances things nicely.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.

Overall a nice beer.

Very traditional especially as it warms up. Bready, crisp, dry light bitter finish.

 

 

Brewed to a historical 17th century recipe. Rustic and seemingly simple, there is much to enjoy from the simple things in life.

Bright amber tone, sharp clarity and visible carb trails. Lasting finger of foam, a halo of lacing all around the glass.

Aroma is mellow, lightly kilned barley, mild toastiness, grassy, dried hay.

Malt forward and medium bodied, mild hops are vaguely floral and contribute a mild bitterness in the dry aftertaste. Clean and medium bodied with ample carbonation.

Easy drinking, pairs well with apple and dry sausage. Interesting to try something similar to what was brewed 400 years ago.

Purchased as a 6oz draft pour from The Blue Door for $3.50. Poured into a 6oz glass.

L - Clear copper, thin pale white head. Okay lacing.
S - Citron peel, bright breadiness. Lemongrass.
T - Follows nose exactly. Well-balanced, with a clean & spicy rye-like finish.
F - Light-medium in body, with mild carbonation. Super drinkable. Crisp. Clean.
O - Really nice pub brew going on here. Not too complex, well-balanced, and relatively unique-tasting. I'd definitely get this one again.
