Name: Gold Standard Export Kellerbier
Brewer: Brooklyn Brewery (Brooklyn, NY)
Classification: Keller Bier
Alcohol: 6.5%
Thoughts: Keller Bier is a completely new style of beer to me. That's sort of the main reason I ordered it. But also because this is what Brooklyn Brewery does best, their experimental beers. Keller Bier is a style of beer that dates back to the middle ages before all this fancy-schmancy machinery and technology was created. The beer is actually exposed the entire time it is being brewed, rather than being in massive metal drums. This allows the yeast to mature better giving it lots of nutrients and vitamins, a.k.a., this beer has some nutritional value to it. So drink to your health! It pours a bubbly, slightly hazy gold color with greenish hues. Yes, I said greenish hues! The head is straight carbonation and is very thin and wispy. The smell is very light with hints of grain and yeast doing much of the heaving lifting. The first thing I thought of when this beautiful babe hit my lips was, "This thing is straight out of Europe". I mean if you could take a bite out of Munich, this is what it would taste like. Lots of musky malts, dry grains, grassy hops and a great light refreshing note. It is clean from the first sip to the last sip. This is the best beer I have ever had from Brooklyn. That should be saying a lot right there.
Rating: 88/100
