Altenmünster Premium Bavarian Beer

Brewed by Allgäuer Brauhaus (Oetker Group)
Style: Pilsener
Kempten, Germany

Cloudy gold with a good head. A flat hessian bag taste that runs and runs. Very natural and subtle. Good beer.

Smooth, fruity pilsener, malt-driven rather than hoppy. Poured a pale gold colour with a 2cm white head that left a little lace during a quick retreat. Notably fruity nose - peaches, passionfruit and lemon ice cream. Big malty palate - this is beautifully put together. Velvety mouthfeel, thin-to-medium body. Some peachy fruit in the mix. The finish is a little short but that’s a minor criticism of a very well-constructed pils. (Swingtop 50cl bottle, best before 30/6/05)

The beer after its disinterment from the 500ml brown swing-top bottle sets in the glass the archetypal German pilsner cloudless gold with a smallish frothy white head and the left over lace a thin sheet. Nose is prototypical crisp and fresh with a nice malt sweetness, start is lightly sweet with a decent grain profile and the top light to moderate in its feel. Finish is fair in its acidity; the hops apropos to the style with the aftertaste dry a drinkable, refreshing beer, and the trademark of a good pilsner

Bottled(500ml). -pale golden coloured with medium white head, light sweet, malty and bready aroma, easy drinkable and nice quite refreshing beer

Deep golden color, medium head, full grainy nice bitter, some: bread, roasty, fruty parts and some grass hints. very nice traditional one.

An easy drinking, malt driven Lager this turned out to be. Tasted from the Swing-stopper and poured into a stein glass. A thin soapy white head formed, which later became dense and creamy, atop a slightly glazed looking orangey gold body. Gritty, grainy, breakfast cereal nose with hints of honey and marmalade. Quite alluring. Light bodied in the mouth and soft and prickly in carbonation. Subtle in flavour, the palate was balanced between tangy, gooey citric fruits, and palest grainy malts with a clean and spicy back-end. Finish had some fruity sweetness and a similar lingering tang like the palate, but it generally remained crisp. Lacked hop definition, yet it seemed to work in its favour. Easy drinking summer thirst quencher!!! (50cL, 12/12/05)

Bottled. Golden with a white, short head. Really malty; breadlike aroma. A dry and papery palate with a lot of maltiness. Bready.

Golden, and clear with a fair head. Aroma is sweet and biscuity maltlight refreshing hop aroma, slightly perfumy, grassy hoppiness and dry honey. Flavour is dry malty grains, honey and a good hop flavour, a little lemony flavour. very easy drinking and pleasant pilsener
