Creemore Springs Kellerbier

Tastes like cake to me. Seriously.

It may not be as hoppy but it still has that beautiful rich malt flavour I love so much about it each summer.

Is it as good this year? I think I did enjoy it better previously. Is it still a very good lager? Yes, it still is.

It's starting to show up again.

As of this past Friday Victory Cafe had it on tap.

A little Twitter exclusive for Kellerbier fans: It's not going away. Our little spring seasonal is now an annual in Ontario! #craftbeer

(I assume "annual" means "available year-round" as opposed to "available once a year".)

Great news.

One of the only commercial lagers I buy on a regular basis.

I really should give their Pils a try again.

Creemore invented a brand-new category for beer: All-Seasonal.

It's better than it used to be. Pretty sure they increased the hop presence at some point last year. It's pretty solid now.

Hope the Keller is in good form this year. That beer can be damn good.

I think Creemore Pilsner poured into a nice tall Czech crystal beer glass is a hell of a nice thing. Prefer it over Urquell... a very fresh natural open taste.

Fresh Pilsner really can't be beat.

I homebrewed a Bohemian Pils this winter, and am just drinking it now after lagering. Fantastic, such a difference from the commercial versions that have been sitting on a boat for months.

Still vastly prefer the LTM Keller, but having this available year-round is a plus.

Picked up a can of this yesterday and had it last night. Was a bit disappointed by the appearance, as it poured perfectly clear with very little sign of it being unfiltered. Still good aroma and flavour, though - not so good as the first year when it was spectacular all around, but comparable to the later versions. It'll be a regular in my rotation of local beers.

I was a little surprised (and disappointed) by the clarity as well. Although, it tastes somewhat spicier than I remember it...it's still got quite a bit of complexity in the flavour, especially in the finish.

It'd be nice in future batches if they kept it cloudier.

It has always had some variability in appearance, even in the first year I remember that some cans would be much cloudier than others.
