Schmucker Meister Pils

Brewed by Privat-Brauerei Schmucker
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Mossautal, Hessen, Germany

Bottle purchased at ALDI as Oldenwalder. Poured clear pale with medium frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Light hoppy aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Light bitter hoppy flavor with a light dry bitter finish of moderate duration. Price to rating is still much bettter then most U.S. domestic premiums.

Bottle (Odenwalder Meister Pils) and served in a pilsner flute: clean golden hue with a small fizzy head and okay lace. The aroma has notes of grassy and aromatic hops, grainy and pale malts, and a hint of grapefruit like acidity. The taste has a minor note of bitterness with a cleansing acidic snap over a base of biscuity malts and and herbal finish. The mouth feel is clean enough I suppose, does keep it refreshing. Little depth here but drinkable, not offensive just a average pils.

(Brewed under "Odenwalder" name.... Aldi purchased) Pours clear transparent pale straw into the glass. The head isn’t bad, initially soapy-sudsy, not very retentive, but decent lacing. The bouquet is airy corn, with grains and a tiny sour hop. Watery pilsner offering, with a unilateral floral hop and semi-dry biscuit finish. Mouthfeel is thin, devoid of much substance. Again, very unilateral and not complex. Very average.... what did I expect from the Aldi????

Terribly pale yellow pour...nothing going on here. The nose is very weak malts and a very light continental-type hopping. The flavors are very weak caramel malt, a light floral hopping, and a very watered-down type of mouthfeel. Disappointing in almost every way.

One bottle. There is a lightly hop aroma and the color is a very pale golden with a decent white head. The taste is light and somewhat watery with a faint finish.

Not much of a classic German Pils. Appearance is pale, white head, nice lacing. Aroma of honey. Mouthfeel is buttery, small amount of hops at the end, not enough to call this a German pils.

Bottle, 4.8%. Yellow colour, small white head. The flavour is weak, lagerish. Thin mouthfeel.

had a bottle of this sitting on a park bench in wiesbaden watching some middle-aged locals do tai chi. pretty industrial and ugly, reminded me a lot of tooheys new without being quite that disgusting
