Maisels Edelhopfen Diät-Pilsner

Brewed by Brauerei Gebr. Maisel Bayreuth
Style: Pilsener
Bayreuth, Germany

Bottled. Dark golden olour. Light honey in aroma. Bit harsh mouthfeel with honey and a bit of hops in flavour. No bitterness. Light mouthfeel.

Bottle: Very pale golden, thin foamy layer, quickly diminishing; sweet malty, but also cardboardy nose, maybe some traces of hops detectable; moderate bitter, but also cardboardy flavour, quite light-bodied; very faint - almost tasteless - finish. Noble hops (Edel-Hopfen), where are they ?

Rather tasteless. A little aroma from the hops (or hop extract, to be precise). Don’t bother!

Bottle. Sparkling. Yellow colour, white head. Thin flavour. I guess it is OK for a low-carb beer. Hint of bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is OK, but the flavour is simply too boring.

Bottled. Pale golden colour. Not much of a head. Grainy, slightly hoppy nose. Grainy, bland taste with a medoum hoppy finish. A little sour. Not very good, but okay for a diät-beer, though nowhere near as good as Paulaner Diät, the epitome of diabetics´ beers.

(bottle) Pale golden colour with a small frothy white head. Breadish malty nose, slightly sweet with faint hoppy notes. Bittersweet flavour, crispy, almost medium bodied malty taste, dry, moderate bitter finish. Quite good for that sort of beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a neat little head. Lovely fresh hop aroma, and the hops also dominate the flavour although this really isn’t very bitter. This may be a low-carb diet pilsener, but it’s actually a decent brew of good quality by any standard. 170101

Pale yellow colour with a small white head. malty and light fruity aroma with a faint sweetness. Thin watery mouthfeel and a flavor that only has a light bitterness.
