König Pilsener (Germany)

Brewed by König Brauerei (Bitburger)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Duisburg, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Pours a clean golden color. Taste is about average with weak to moderate malt and hop character. Finish is slightly bitter.

Decent classic german pilsener. Served cold they are always thirst quenching.

From the can: Pours clear gold with good white foamy head with a strong audible fizzing. Typical grassy, lemon citrus hoppy smell. slight soapy aromal. Nice thirst quenching back of the throat malty fizz. (hard to describe). Good mouthfeel. Thins a bit through the middle with a slight citrus transfer to a Hoppy finish with a bit of a metallic aftertaste. All in all perhaps a slightly above average German pils. Quite refreshing and would be MUCH better fresh on tap I imagine.

Bottle: Quite pale golden colour, huge, lacing off-white head; grassy hoppiness and some maltiness in the aroma, also traces of sulphur/ rotten vegetables...(?); sweetish begining, mild bitter sweet taste, short but distinctive bitter-aromatic finish; O.K., not unpleasant, but what does here mean "Premium"......?

Bottle. I have a general prejudice against beer in a plastic bottle, but this wasn’t as bad as some. Not too much aroma, and tastes are on the malty side. Unoffensive.

Clear golden coloured. Hoppy aroma. Hopbitter flavour, some grain perhaps. Perhaps because i drank it on a holiday, but i really enjoyed this one.

Bottle - June 2005 Typicall neutral pale lager ( although pure malt). All appareance, taste, bitternes and palate are neutral. The flavour is somewhat malty and sweet, but very unidimensional. Not awfull, but completely forgettable.

Pale yellow-gold hue, big rocky lacy white head, floral hops, soft pale malt aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with soft pale malt character with a light citrusy note in a dry but mild bitter hop finish.
