Brewmaster Felix Matt answered the following questions about this beer:

Why did you choose this style of beer and what is special about your recipe?
For me, the Kellerpils category combines the great taste of a beautiful hop flower with the light, full-bodied body of an unfiltered beer. In my search for the right hops, I came across a cross called "Tango", which perfectly combines the taste advantages of the Cascade and Hallertauer Tradition varieties. Depending on the time of use and the amount added, this hop covers all aroma requirements, from classic to fruity. When developing the recipe, it was worth focusing on just this one type of hop and its variety of flavors.

How would you describe the taste and how does the name fit?
The unfiltered Kellerpils has a mild effervescence and pleasantly aromatic bitterness, which is ideally absorbed by the slightly full-bodied body. On the nose you can smell a fresh, fruity hop aroma with subtle notes of passion fruit and grapefruit. In the aftertaste, however, you can detect slightly grassy, ​​resinous and citrus notes on the palate. Creating such a colorful range of hop aromas with just one single variety is a bit crazy. It immediately made me think of the cartoon series "Looney Tunes", which also knew how to impress with its many colorful and crazy classics from Duffy Duck to Bugs Bunny and Speedy Gonzales.

What occasion is this beer suitable for?
Since it is nice and drinkable, but still has a much more hoppy aroma than a regular cellar beer, it is an ideal thirst quencher for after work.
