Bad Windsheimer Freilandmuseum Zwickel0,5l 4,8%
Brewed in one of the oldest Brewing places in Germany, this unfiltered Kellerbier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellerbier) has apparently been made in an open air museum. It's darker than what I expected of a Kellerbier (Zwickel/Kellerbier being my current favorite kind of beer). The middle strong foam dissipated very fast, but leaves a fine layer of the white bubbles on top of it. This bottle is another of the ones I found at the Guinness Book leading beer shop around the corner.
Its definitely darker / browner than a Pild and has some slight reddish / orange hues.
It smells very fresh and fruity, no yeast tones but even some hints of orange and citrus fruits. Even after a few minutes the fine foam layer is still there, alas no huge head.
It's mild carbonation is just perfect and not too strong to get painful. It surprises with shades of bitterness in the back palate, while the rest of the tongue is bathed in goodness. All in all a very good beer and a rare gem again... I wonder how much they brew at a museum...
