Berliner Kindl Bärenpils

Brewed by Berliner Kindl Brauerei (Oetker Group)

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and malt, and so is the flavor.

Bottle. [Courtesy of nicolascage, session @ Ølbaren] Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Clear flat looking body with a yellow color. Fair display of lacework. Aroma of grain, hay, grass and caramel. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light sweet and bitter flavor. Light dry and bitter finish. 18-09-2007, Thanks Lars!

Bottle, off-license in sunny in Summer Berlin, Germany.
Label, I don’t know, represents itself as sadly Berlin does not mean ’land of bears’ but it does mean swampland or marshland. So Berlin Child breweries bear Pils stands alone. Quaffable as it may be. This poured a light honey gold, quite bright and sparklingly clear. Head rose off the pour to an inch thick, frothy pad of white that lasted and legged it down the glass. Fresh mowed grass and sour-bread nose, quite clean, little else. In the mouth it is a little fizzy but not harshly, and it is light. Nice dry malty palate, rather straightforward but natural in flavour. In the back it is firmly bitter and the hops start to build a fort around it. Along the sides it becomes tangy ans slightly sharp before a grassy grasp. Finish is clean, borders soapy but when drunk quick enough this does not count. This was simple, flawless material. Like a lovely painting of a vase, bland without character. Quaffable stuff. (50cL, 16/06/07)

Bottle, 50cl. Bought in Berlin. Poured translucent light gold, with a bubbly white head. Cool, fresh grass aroma, i think not uncommon for beers of this type. This is a fairly hoppy yet light pilsner, with a slightly bitter hop finish, leaving a hint of spearmint on the tongue. A pleasant refreshing lager, but not a touch on the same brewery’s Berliner Kindl.

In 1991, just after "die Wende" I’ve tasted this beer in the cantine of the old brewery. It was close to 100 Gr F, and the beer went down well. And now... slightly but clearly noticeable hoppy aroma. Hopbitter, grassy flavor. medium bodied. Hopbitter aftertaste with a touch of metal. Well made! .
