Clausthaler Classic (Premium)

Brewed by Binding-Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Low Alcohol
Frankfurt, Germany

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a white head, quickly diminished. Dry aroma, has notes of hay and a whiff of lemon. Flavour is dry and cardboardish grainy. Ends dry with a bit of bitterness.

12 oz bottle; pale gold with a big white head; Nose is grassy with a hint of mint esters; flavor has some hop bitterness and lawnmower grassiness. Would be OK on a hot summer day mowing the lawn!

Nose is thin and tinny with some grass. Taste is aspartic. Sugar and grass. Not very nice.

330 ml bottle. Golden colour. Tall creamy white head that clings to the glass. Floral hop aroma with a grainy background. Powdery texture and papery flavours. Quite a bit of hop bitterness. Light bodied, obviously, but there is for a beer of this kind a decent amount of malt flavour as well. Finishes papery and with a nice lingering bitterness.

Sharp cabbage aroma. Ubiquitous pale yellow color and appearance. Very good carbonation. Interesting pasta background. Grain and cardboard palate. The more I drink, the more I begin to think it has a stronger APA bitter hops finish. No way! I think the carbonation is the best thing about this brew.

Bottled. Clear golden, small, brief head. Restrained minty wort aroma. Sweet with clean mouthfeel. Some grainy malt provides sufficient body to keep it from becoming thin. No bitterness. Higly tolerable non-alc.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow. Aroma of Grains and some brew mash. The flavour the same. Boring but ok when cold.
