Keller Pils
Lost And Grounded

2025-06-02
440ml can served in a hotel glass in Mizonokuchi. Date on the can is 2025-09-25. Appears to be "best before". Don't remember where I picked this up, but it wasn't that long ago.

Pours slightly hazy friendly yellow amber with a medium sized dense head and lots of carbonation. Smell is very grainy, a little grass, maybe a slight wet wood note. Maybe something floral in the background, too.

Taste is more on the bitter side than the aroma suggested, but that's not a bad thing at all, particularly since all the grainy notes are still there. Grass comes out fairly powerfully, lemon has a definite presence that seems to have transmuted from the hint of floral aroma.

Mouthfeel is very light, very crisp. Overall, very nice beer to drink.

Slightly hazy lager look with a retentive peaked white head. Very bready on the nose and tongue, with a pleasant hint of yeasty sweetness towards the end.

 

 

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 4.8%. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and grassy, herbal and floral hops. Crisp flavour, a decent and well hopped pilsener.

L- Rested and well chilled then poured gently as usual, but an ultra-fast to form foam head means I haven't managed to get more that say 50ml of beer in the glass before it risked overflowing - pour with care! From what I can see so far it's pale straw, slightly hazy and as said has a relatively monumental white pillowy head.
S- Slightly bright, but hard to divine anything else through 10Cm of foam. The bottle gives a slightly citrus note. Hmmm.
T- Bright, hoppy-dry, the hops give a vibrant zingy brush across my tongue and palate. Sufficient malts follow in the background to bring balance.
F- 'Medium dry'. Hops forward, refreshing, perfect for a hot summers day. Veeery good carbonation.
O- Very pleasant, clean, nothing objectionable unless someone might object to a beer taking 10mins to pour due to it being so highly carbonated hehe. Would I drink it again - absolutely. Would I buy it again at the price = that's a possibly, there are many other superb beers that can be had for less, though this is something a bit different and well done.
ps. Having now finished teh pour I see sediment remains in the bottle so it's bottle-conditioned.

Bought from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cambridge, UK 330ml bottle £2.35 BB: 14/09/2021 [Oops! Just noticed that! I bought it 7-10days ago].

440ml can. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. Label states ‘Hop Bitter Lager Beer’.
Fresh, hazy, funky, hoppy, yeasty, grassy, lemony, spicy, fizzy, tangy and dry.
A nicely complex, heavily hopped, German-style kellerbier from Bristol, England.
Available in UK supermarkets and consequently great value for money.

 

 

Pours a clear pale yellow with soft, fine head.

Smell is clean, floral and citrusy with hints of crackers and rye.

Taste is mild and floral, clean and crisp. oft bitterness and hints of citrus and Ritz-crackers.

Mouthfeel isthin to medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a very clean lager, easy to drink and well made.

Lost & Grounded is on its way to figuring out this style that Bavarians have monopolized for too long.
While cloudier, this bier still Looks a lively blond and sports a lovely foam and lace. Smells are mostly malt, but some hops in the back of my nose. For Tastes, hops come in to balance nicely. Medium-mouthed. Its bubbles cleanse the palate. And it went fine with a salad for lunch, which cannot be said for all Kellers.

I went on their website and I see they are just starting up. But Brighton is a good place for tourists to come and drink refreshing beers. So, I wish them well.

1/25/26 Bought another copy from M&S, so Lost & Grounded has gotten into some good distribution. In 2023, this Pils won the WBC Award in the Keller category. Also in between 2019 when I first drank this from an earlier recipe, I've appropriately edited the above and increased considerably ratings for Looks and Overall Hugs. Those are for the WBC award and Lost & Grounded growing smartly beyond Brighton's tourism season.

The best keller pils in the UK to date, pours straw coloured with slight haze. Nice head that lasts.

sweet malt and spicy hops aroma. Taste brings lots more, with some effective bitterness, slightly juicy, drying finish,

Now available nationally at waitrose, £2.50 a 440ml can.
