Crooked Stave Von Pilsner
Here's a new (to me) beer style: keller pilsner. According to Wikipedia, a "kellerbier" is a type of German lager that is typically neither clarified or pasteurized. The term translates a "cellar beer", referring to cool lagering temperatures. It contains more of it's original brewing yeast held in suspension. It is distinctly cloudy as is described by German producers as naturtrüb (naturally cloudy). Kellerbier and it's related form Zwickelbier are often served directly from the barrel. It pours a lemon drop yellow, with a fluffy, pure white, two finger head. It's got a smooth taste, with moderate hoppiness, and an easy-going 5.0% ABV. The hops provide some light citrus notes, No strong tastes of any kind, but would serve as a decent lawnmower beer. I can imagine pairing it with cheddar cheese, tangy coleslaw or perhaps a nice baked ham or ham sandwich. It's not earthshaking, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do.
