Supplier: Beers of Europe
This is the Kellerbier (or cellar beer) of this 500 year old brewery. The beer is an unfiltered lager that has been cellared. It won a gold medal from the German Agricultural Society - Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) - in 2007. This particular bottle apparently went off in mid September, I have no experience with Kellerbiers so I am unsure if this will affect it in a positive or negative way. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A slightly pale and slightly amber golden colour with a very thin off-white head.
Aroma: Some spicy notes mixed with lots of honey and a hint of dried orange.
Flavour: Definitely a german beer with the typical notes associated, with some dried orange. There is a descant malt body but with more savoury hints.
Body: Quite light and refreshing but with a substantial back.
Aftertaste: The main flavour continues but with some green and almost ear waxy hop notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, a good standard drinker with some decent notes, but nothing special.
Price Range: £2.09 for a 500ml bottle, a good price for what it is, especially with the bottle (if you like those type of bottles)
Food Pairings: Some nice warm and buttery bread, lots of garlic would also be nice.
