Keiler Pils

Keiler Pils is produced in bottled form at Kulmbacher but this draft version is done at Würzburger Hofbräu who bought the original brewery in 2001. As served at the Keiler Brauhaus, it's a clean, semi-dry, semi-bitter classic Pils.

Keiler Kellerbier

Keiler Brauhaus Kellerbier is one of the few beers on tap at this modern pub which is actually brewed onsite. It is also their best beer with a nice unfiltered amber hue, creamy head and nose of grain and hops. The balanced palate has a nice mix of grain and hops with a lingering semi-dry, semi-bitter finish. Too bad they don't brew all of their beers onsite.

Spessart Gold Specht on tap

Spessart Gold Specht is a malt forward Festbier with an integrated butter component, giving it a slight Czech feel. The bittersweet finish could be cleaner but it's a good example of the style.

Spessart Räuberchen Pils on tap

Spessart Pils is a good looking example of the style with a creamy head and nose of grain and hops. Quite balanced with a fair semi-dry hoppy palate with fair malt backbone. The lingering finish is moreishly dry and just bitter enough.
