St. Georgenbräu  Keller Bier
It's aged in oak barrels in caves, for heavens' sake. What more could you ask of a German lager?! Unfiltered (but no sediment present), cloudy amber with nice head that disappated fairly quickly. Rich malt and fairly complex hops in the nose. Crisp carbonation that softened as the beer warmed, decent mouthfeel. But the taste... What a fantastic example of the style. Rich biscuity malt with both a bitterness and a slightly spicy hops flavor, balanced with just enough sweetness to make it hit the tongue and go down smoothly. Kellers (German for "cellar") are fantastic, old-style brews that are worth tasting. Yes, the price prohibits frequent purchase; but a real treat for any beer lover!
