Spaten Pils

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: Pilsener
Munich, Germany

A surprsingly tasty pilsener. Not over the top and not very complex, but slightly hoppy and sweet and highly enjoyable. Tasted very clean, crisp and fresh, with a solid mouthfeel.

Very mild aroma and flavor. Crisp clean mouthfeel, detectable hops. Not very complex but a very well made pilsener, these are a tough style to make and then export and still have taste wonderful like this.

This beer was medium gold with a moderate fluffy head and nice lacing that left rings. Mild aroma of spicy hops. I was surprised and a little disappointed at how light bodied this beer seemed. There was some malt sweetness up front, but it was mostly very dry all the way through, with a light hoppy bitterness at the end. Tastes like it should taste better.

I'm on a roll striking out with new brews. This one isn't bad, but it isn't exciting by any stretch. It has a solid bread dough backbone and a welcome sigh of saaz, but both subdued by the other's presence, rather than augmented. Maybe suffers a bit because I was hoping for a healthy blast of German flavor after some lackluster American entries.

Looks clean & with a light golden hue. Clean with mildy bitter aftertaste. Very similar to pilsner urquell.

Light golden with a smooth taste. Fine German pils but not as good as the check stuff.

On tap in Tuscany. Blond with a small head. Weak aroma and a medium bitter hoppy taste. Long bitter aftertaste. Maybe to sharp and bitter for me.

How underrated this pils is. Such rich and full sweet honey, raised, saaz hop aroma. Great gold liquid pours into rating glass, true white thick pils crown. Very smooth, high refined and with enough of torque to make my palate happy. Let’s make this as reference mark for German Pils gentlemen. Highly recommended. Munich should be proud of you .
