Keller Pils
Utepils Brewing Co.

Appearance: Arrives a relatively clear goldenstraw with a one finger head; the retention and lacing were a little weak

Smell: Bready aromatics with a grassy aspect and a hint of apple

Taste: Bready with a touch of biscuity sweetness and apple; the grassy aspect picks up, after the swallow; though there is some sweetness in the finish there is also a hint of sulfur in the aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation

Overall: Perfectly satisfactory on a hot day

L-Pretty good clarity for a keller actually...light golden color..

S-I really like the rich bready aroma to this...yeasty bread right out of the oven..has some melanoidin characteristics to the smell

T-Excellent fresh baked bread flavor....just a hint of lemony hops on the finish..definitley malt forward..getting some of the melanoidin here too..

F-Medium bodied...unfiltered and rich but clean at the same time...definitely lager like...

O-I really like this...their regular pils is solid but this is a dandy..
