Schwelmer Pils

Brewed by Brauerei Schwelm
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Schwelm, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

16 oz bottle with the swing-top.This beer pours a clear gold/amber with an average size white head. Nose is nice with mostly floral/earthy hops (saaz i think). mmm, this is smooth and tasty. Starts out semi-sweet with a little citrus, some mild biscuity malt, and some VERY nice earthy hops with a touch of honey and lemon in the aftertaste. Body is light/medium, yeast is clean and really allow the malts and hops to take center stage. Carbonation is high. This is outstanding and perhaps my new favorite Pilsner. If only it were priced as low as the Urquell, this would be my session Pils!

bottle aroma of slightly off malt. pours like bud light with almost no head. flavor is pretty light but not bad pretty malty. goes down smooth, decent beer.

Since 1830 this gold coloured pils has been pouring it,s good bitter and even hop flavour into glasses,one of the good German brands that have that woody type aroma,(holsten,Gilde)much like it,nice drop.Not standoutish.

Pours crystal clear straw w/ low white head and moderate lacing. Some slight saaz aroma. A very flavor of lemon/grass and some soft phenolics. A very nice Pilsner and good example of the style. Thanks Carsten for bring the beer!

Bottle: Pours a golden with a thin white head. Light, grassy hop nose, with hints of grain in the background. Has a mild palate, with a light saaz/grassy flavor. The malt presence is bisquity and pleasant. Easy going and highly drinkable.

Pours clear gold-amber with a two-finger white head. Very grainy aroma with a good bit of sweet, earthy German hops. Flavor begins a little bland, just faint bready malt. There’s a small hop bite in the middle, before the beer finishes almost like it started.

Pours a clear gold with a slight amber touch. Nose is caramel and sweet with a strong malty edge. Flavor is a bit smoky with a thick mature sweet tone. Feel is bordering on a slightly syrupy side. Low carbonation. Drinakble, yeah. But the low carbonation and the syrupy feel kind of kill it. I didn’t appreciate it that much in the long run.

A nice crisp pale yellow color, the flavor starts with some faintly sweet malt rounded out with some grassy hop notes. Finish is kinda thin, as though a large degree of the flavor drops off. Still, enjoyable.
