Hacker-Pschorr Anno 1417 Kellerbier

An acquaintance of mine suggested I try this beer Hacker-Pschorr Kellerbier.  I haven’t had many kellerbier’s, so having a recommendation and basically reviewing a new style of beer is pretty exciting to me.  Kellerbier, meaning “Cellar Beer”, style is a old rare style of German lager that tends to be unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Hacker-Pschorr Anno 1417 Kellerbier

Pour:

Great pop when opening the flip top.  Beer needed a good hard pour to get any sort of head.

Aroma:

Very strong yeasty aroma with a hint of lemon.

Appearance:

Beer was a golden color, slightly hazy with a very white head with a slight bit of carbonation.

Taste:

Crisp taste with a slight spice with a bit of apple.  This beer had no real dominant flavors, nothing particularly stuck out.

Drinkability:

This was a balanced beer, it goes down smooth.  The yeast and spice of the hops compliment the other nicely.

Tasting Method: 500ml Pop Top

My Rating: 8.7
