Birra Oxiana Keller offers an elegant and approachable interpretation of a Munich Helles, characterized by its traditional unfiltered (Naturtrüb) presentation. This bottom-fermented lager pours a distinctive yellow ochre with a soft, natural haze. The sensory profile is led by a moderate grainy-sweet aroma derived from Continental Pilsner malt, complemented by low, refined floral and herbal notes from traditional German hops. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, rounded malt impression with a delicate suggestion of sweetness, balanced by a restrained bitterness. Its clean fermentation and dry, soft finish make it exceptionally refreshing, bridging the gap between artisanal complexity and effortless drinkability.
Appearance.Yellow ochre to pale gold in color (approximately 4 SRM); slightly opaque and hazy due to its unfiltered nature. Features a persistent, creamy white head with good lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a dominant grainy-sweet malt character. Low floral and spicy hop notes are present. The fermentation profile is clean, devoid of esters or phenols, allowing the malt to remain the focal point.
Taste.Initial impression is moderately malty and soft. Grainy-sweet malt flavors provide a rounded palate, supported by low to medium-low bitterness. Subtle floral and herbal hop flavors are noticeable but secondary. The finish is soft and dry, avoiding any harsh or biting bitterness, with a clean aftertaste reflecting the high-quality lager yeast.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, well-lagered texture. Carbonation is moderate. The beer lacks any significant alcohol warmth or astringency, providing a gentle, creamy mouthfeel typical of unfiltered Kellerbiers.
