Berliner Kindl Pils

Brewed by Berliner Kindl Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Pilsener
Berlin, Germany

A great beer drunk 31st March 2002 on a warm sunny day in Berlin. Clean and fresh!

My initial reactions were not strong, but in time I have discovered a fondness for this fine beer.

I drove all day form Vilnius (Lithuania) across Poland to Germany. When I found penzion and sat with bottle of Berliner Kindl, I found myself in Heaven. So, my marks can be little bit higher, that this beer is worth.

Very good pils. Too bad its not available down here.

Golden clear appearance.sightly dry but still a very sharp taste. Very refreshing and easy to drink.

I enjoyed plenty of currywust when I was in Berlin. My friend is a currywurst fanatic, and every time he goes to Berlin, he gets his fix. You must try currywurst at least once if you visit Berlin, and if you do, you will need a nice cold beer to wash it down. A good choice is Berliner Kindl Pils brewed by the Berliner Kindl Brauerei AG (Oetker Group) of Berlin. This is a very popular beer in Berlin, and is a well made, very drinkable pilsner, that matches well with currywust, and makes for a good drinking beer. Berliner Kindl Pils pours to a beautiful, bright, golden color with a bright white head, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is balanced with mild grassy/herbal hop aroma paired with hints of crisp pilsner malt. The palate is crisp and clean with good pilsner malt flavor on a smooth and round body. Berliner Kindl Pils finishes with more crisp malt flavor, then ends with a gentle hop bitterness that balances. This is a well done pilsner, that is clearly brewed to appeal to a number of tastes. I would have enjoyed a bit more hop character, but I still enjoyed this one, and it really was a great beer to wash a currywurst down with. This beer can be found everywhere in Berlin, and I enjoyed an ice cold half liter can with my currywurst, at a little currywurst shack called Check Point Curry right outside the Friedrichstrasse train station.

Light yellow beer, very malty in flavor, easy drinkable, not very special, but pleasant.

On tap in Berlin, with most of the carbonation squeezed out. Soft, smooth, with a pleasant hoppy finish. Just the refreshment I needed on a hot evening.
