Einbecker Brauherren Premium Pils

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

Frankly, this is just another Pilsener from across the sea that took far too long to make it into my glass. I have no doubt that the plethora of German beers are very tasty when imbibed close to their source, but nearly all of them taste a bit off once they reach the Midwest of the U.S.A. Regardless, the body of this beer is a light gold, and the head was predictably white. The head didn’t last very long, though, but it did leave some lacing. Typical German Pilsener aroma (the one the develops coming across the ocean and while spending time on the docks), and the flavor pretty much follows suit. But the carbonation is quite good, and for that I am very grateful. Overall, I think this might be a tasty beer in Germany, but I won’t pay to have it again over here.

Pale golden, small white head. Grainy, grassy bit hoppy aroma. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is thin and watery grainy grass flavour. Boring.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a white head. Light caramel malt, light cereal note and acidic. Favour is light caramel malty and with a mild bitterness. Blend between sweet and dry hoppy. Ends with a lingering caramel malt and light bitterness with a light fruity note.

On tap at Three Floyds Brewpub and served in an Einbecker footed pilsner glass. This beer poured a crystal clear golden with a high level of active carbonation dancing around the glass. A decent head of bright white foam slowly faded away, leaving a small amount of fine lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of grass, mildly sweet biscuit, and a modest noble hop note. The flavor was very clean and true to the aroma. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and crisp with a high level of carbonation. Not too bad.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Nice creamy head. Begins very dry, but in the end only modest dry, mild. Good beer.

Bottle: Clear golden colour, with a thin white head.. Aroma is grainy,gras , malty, hopy and a nice citric/flowery finish.Flavor is almost the same,thim mouth feeling, but has a freshnes that I like in it. Short bitter finish. A nice German pilsner.

Pours a clear light golden color with a respectable white fluffy head. Crisp clean aroma like rainwater and hop flowers. Has a delicious refreshing pilsner taste of sweet pale malt and light hop bitterness. A very good pils, but a little too watery. More malt & hops and less water would be better.

Pale golden color, big creamy white head, lace. Papery hoppy aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel, grassy hoppy flavor. A bit sweet edge in the finish. Basic, wellmade German pils.
