SBARBATELLA
Keller Pilsner
Colour: Pale Gold
ABV: 5%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: The fresh-faced Sbarbatella may not be as mature as his older brother, La Piazza, but this younger, spry Keller Pils has earned its stripes. Brewed exclusively with floor-malted bohemian pilsner malt and hopped with select New World Noble hops. It pours a cloudy straw yellow with a persistent, pillowy white head. Subtle floral aroma with hints of lemon and honey lead to flavours of hay with a cracker like grain character and smooth malt sweetness. It is clean and crisp, yet bold and complex with a medium body and balanced bitterness.
Story Behind the Beer: Sbarbatella in Italian means greenhorn.
