Dutchess Kerwa Kellerpils Review
Dutchess Ales brings a wonderful old-world tradition to life with Kerwa, their masterfully crafted kellerpils packaged in a 16 oz can. Rooted in Franconian cellar-beer traditions, this brew delivers the rustic charm, crisp refreshment, and artisanal depth that craft lager enthusiasts seek.
Appearance & Aroma
Pouring a luminous, slightly hazy pale gold beneath a dense, frothy white head, Kerwa immediately looks the part of a traditional, unfiltered cellar pilsner. The aroma is an inviting blend of crackling noble hop spice, freshly baked crusty bread, and subtle floral undertones that evoke a classic Bavarian lagering cellar.
