On tap at Swiftwater Brewing Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a very slightly hazy straw yellow, with a small head, and big sheets of lacing down the glass.

Something smells kind of off here- there's maybe some sulphur, and cardboard. There's some grassy hop flavor, and mineral yeast character.

The body on this is a bit flabby- I expected some crispness or softness- and it's not here. There's some off flavors of sulphur and cardboard, but a nice grassy and fruity hop flavor. I can tell there's some potential here, but there's too many off flavors, and too delicate of a base to hide them. Swiftwater usually does some nice lagers, so this is a disappointing.

This is light bodied, but too lightly carbonated, and kind of flabby.

This is kind of disappointing. Back to the drawing board.

I'm always excited to see a kellerbier on tap but this was a major disappointment (the first of many at Swiftwater). Musty cardboard is not a flavor I enjoyed tasting in my beer.
