Spaten Pils

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

golden pour. white head. malty and grainy aroma. Flavor is malty and a bit sweet, but nothing at all to write home about.

(bottle - 500 ml) Clear yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and hoppy with a little bit of sweetness in it as well. Some light citrus hiding at the back. Flavor is very light and crisp at the start with a light touch of hops mixed with some spice and a little bit of yeast. The middle is crisp and sweet with hints of apple peels and then moves to a very dry and slightly bitter finish. Very nice.

In short: A macro-ish pseudo-pilsner lager.
How: Bottle, drank fresh the day of purchase
The look: Clear yellow-blonde body topped by a short-lived small white head
In long: Oily sugary cereals. Some honey. Taste of Corn Flakes™. Shy hops. Total lack of character. Macro sensation. Insultingly bland. Some rotten fruits as the beer warmed-up. I was in a road trip in the USA and after too many imperial-something I felt like a refreshing European lager. I picked one I didn’t know. That’s what I got. I would be in a trip over-sea and missing north-american food I would randomly chose something I never had and I’d pick a McFish sandwich. That’s the type of looser I am.

essa Pilsener alemã tem espuma de aparência inicial média e rochosa, de coloração branca e reduzida longevidade. Há boa formação de colarinho e o corpo é claro e borbulhante, de coloração amarelo pálido, brilhante. O aroma é moderadamente lupulado, com notas de grama e também adocicado. Já o sabor inicial é levemente doce e ácido; o final, de média duração, apresenta leve doçura e amargor. Compõem o paladar um corpo leve, de textura aguada, forte carbonatação e final metálico. É bem balanceada e refrescante.

Pours a light golden with a small thick frothy white head. Classic Spaten grassy, metallic, sweet malt aroma. This is a lovely pilsner, very malty yet remains very clean. Huge bitter aftertaste, dry finish and a bit bready as well. About as full bodied a pils as one can find, still smooth and quite crisp though, fantastic palate. Sweeter and richer, but still a pilsner with a nice hop bite.

This is a highly underrated beer. Consistently one of my favorite pilsners. It’s a shame more US beer manufacturers aren’t brewing lager style beers. This is every bit as good as Pilsner Urquell.

Bronze with a thick, lush foam head. Served in a 1 liter mug, draft. Typical pils smells with some sulphur and European hops. Flavor is pretty similar. Not at all impressed with this one.

Just $2.29 for the bottle.this poured a clear orange with fat white head. Nose of citrus,. Medium but smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is of mild hops and some caramel malts. Slightly bitter finish. Pretty good brew.
