Forst 1857

Brewed by Forst
Style: Pale Lager
Merano, Italy

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Liht cardboardish aroma. Mild bitter, grassy and vague cardboardish flavoured with a distinct bitterness coming through. Ends dry and bitter.

Bottle: Pale golden with a greenish sheen, rather small and rapidly collapsing white foam; dry grainy-grassy nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; light dry grainy-dusty finish with a certain amount of bitterness. Not completely bad, but quite boring.............

Surprising that there aren’t more reviews of this beer as I thought distribution was quite good. Anyway, nothing special here, as macro as any beer you are likely to see. Thin head disappears quickly, leaving a flat looking golden amber hue. Sweet corney nose - cheap. Palate shows good levels of fizz, more cheap (and nasty) corn with a somewhat thickening, cloying finish. Weird that. No better or worse that than the field.

Small white head, fast gone, despite very lively carbonation, over bright golden beer. Perfumed, very obvious cooked corn (maize IS added here). Outspoken pilsner malt & maize. Oxydized mess, masking some malty sugars and more corn sweetness. Grist slickness, bit fizzy, empty finish. Ouch. Forst makes much better, and this ought to be a celebration beer... Ik vraag mij af waar al mijn landgenoten dit vonden, ik ben het waarempel in Toscane moeten halen, lol...

Clear golden blond coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a small white head. Special fruity and hoppy aroma. Medium sweet palate. Finish is fruity bitter and hoppy. Not bad.

Clear blond coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. Herby sweet aroma. Full palate. Finish is berby and slightly dry.

...bottle. Not nearly as good as the kronen. Lacks body and flavor. Slight hop notes on the nose, with a weak, flavorless finish. Decent carbonation. but overly fizzy out of the bottle. Tastes too much like a commercial lager, not worth the price at all in the three pack.
