Some German Beers (Late-ToberFest)
Spaten – Oktoberfest , Lager/Marzen
Augustiner-Brau – Edelstoff, Lager/Dortmunder Export
Paulaner – Oktoberfest Bier, Lager/Marzen/Oktoberfest
Spaten – Oktoberfest, 5.9%, 500ml bottle.
Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu is the brewery. Its a Lager-Marzen-Oktoberfst beer. Its a nice golden lager colour, a nice malty and lager yeast smell, nice head too. Nice back of the tongue bitterness, lager yeast characters are prominent, some mild malt characters, a sweet malt balanced with the bitter hops, some very slight toasty malt flavors in there as well, nothing is overbearing, its all well balanced.
Augustiner – Edelstoff, 5.7%, 500ml bottle.
Augustiner-Bräu. A Lager – European / Dortmunder Export. Lovely head, big lasting, good lager yeast smell, kind of minerally. Taste is light malt in there its noticeable, but its so mild, there’s hops and a nice bitterness but it doesn’t linger, This i have had before, and it is just so clean and crisp and drinkable. The hops and malt are just so balanced and crisp. An awesome beer.
Paulaner -Oktoberfest Bier, 5.8%, 500ml bottle.
Paulaner Brauerei, this is another Lager-Marzen Oktoberfest. Less head, more golden amber colour, sweeter smell. Taste is a bit more bitterness, some sweet malts. This is a lot like the Spaten, with slightly more malt, sweet malts mainly, and a little more hops bitterness, but also this has the mineral aspects of the above Augustiner. Its just good.
Excellent Kolsch
Brauerei Früh am Dom – Früh Kölsch, 4.8% 500ml can.
Probably one of the best? In my eyes, yes. Its very damn good.
Clear awesome light amber to dark straw colour, great head, lots of spidery lacing. Its dry but light, crisp and fast, then a bit of malt and nice light bitter finish. Nice carbonation. Basic but thats what you want. A great beer.
ST. MICHAEL FRONT
good beers
How about some poorly worded beer reviews.
Rothaus Pils Tannen Zäpfle
Brewer: Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus AG
A German Pilsner. Nifty bottle art. Exceptionally clear with a lovely big fluffy head. Lovely bready grainy “wheaty” nose and also very herbal and slightly hoppy notes, with that great lager funk in there. The taste is extremely well balanced malts and hops, giving a crisp and dry finish. Some nice malt aftertaste and a good hop bitterness lingers for the next sip. 5.1ABV is surprising. A great beer.
Weißenoher Eucharius Pils
Brewer: Klosterbrauerei Weissenohe / Weißenohe Wirtshaus
Another German Pilsner. Much like the above, colour/clarity is amazing. Nose is very bready malty, lager funk more subdued here but still present. This one is much crisper/cleaner, The taste is more hops, theres is less malt but a far more focused crisp clean bitterness. Lovely lingering bitterness. This is actually fantastic.
Früh Kölsch
Brauerei Früh am Dom
A Kolsch, a big can. Nose is malts, very clean malts, very light hops, some yeast funk. Lovely clear gold and great foamy lasting head with amazing lacing. Taste is crisp malts? Nice malt flavour thats clean and fast very balanced with the crisp hops. Its dry but not fully dry, Its very clean , leaving a mild bitterness and no malt aftertaste. This is a very good Kolsch.
