Radeberger Pilsner

Brewed by Radeberger Exportbierbrauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Radeberg, Germany

Can. Pours clear yelllow with a thin white head. malty taste but killed by the tin can taste. slight carbonation. would be good out of a bottle

Pours a sickly yellow (ever-so-slightly green). White foamy head and big suds. The smell is barely there... I had to strain to detect a bit of grainy malt, some apple cider, and an unsual solvent aroma. The mouthfeel is on par with carbonated water. Nothing to write home about, nothing to get upset about. The taste is astringent and bitter, a pilsner through and through, with the bitterness overpowering initial attempts to decipher the taste. A bit of honey can be noticed, along with a citrus tang in the aftertaste. Other than that, hops and bitter, baby, hops and bitter. In general, not a good German Pils. Poor King Frederick August III of Saxony, I hope he had better drinks than this to console his abdicating soul...

Bottle 33cl. A nice crisp clean bit sweet pilsner, lots of co2. very decent.

Pours clear yellow with medium white head. Hoppy and malty aroma. Clean crisp taste. I was suprised how much I liked it. Overall a very decent lager/pilsner.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is light golden. Aroma is hops and malt. Taste is malt and hops as well.

Bottle. Clear yellow colour with anice head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, malt and hops.

I bought a few 500 mL cans of this. The only thing really giving it much of an appearance is the massive amount of head it has. Otherwise it’s pretty standard looking. There’s nothing overly unique about this beer, I like it though. It’s one of the better lagers here, not that we have a great selection.
