Schübel a Fränkisch
Brewery: Schübel Bräu

Color: unfiltered but fairly clear amber

Impression: I’ve had a few of their beers in bottles now and all have been solid, including this unfiltered Kellerbier which is remarkably clear. It’s a typical Altfränkisch with the amber hue and soft palate. It’s balanced with some pleasant graininess. The hops become more apparent as it warms and you drink, giving it a nice slightly bitter finish. At 4.9%, it would be a great session beer at the Keller.
