Warsteiner Premium Verum

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Warstein, Germany

Not a good impression at the start. Pale yellow colour and not good aroma. But the taste is a lot better than that. This one gives this beer an advantage to other german pilseners.

Pours golden yellow with a thin white head. Slight hop aroma. Somewhat bitter taste that was more appealing than the average macro. I was not very impressed, but it was better than the alternative.

Nose is of grainy malt and a bready yeast. Mild hops in there, quite basic aromas. Quite effervescent. Looks great in it’s own glass, pale golden with a head that resembles a dollop of whipped cream. Smells much better than other mainstream pilsners. Quite bitter flavours with grainy malt. Not much else, some lemon-like hops. An okay example.

Starts off with a lemony character which fades to a grainy taste and texture. Good lacing. Drinkable, and better than the mass produced lagers, but not great.

it is what it is................................................

Straw color with white foam. Apple cider note to aroma. Easy-drinking lager flavor leads to saline, tinny finish.

500ml bottle. Pale gold colour. Rapidly vanishing white head. An easy drinking dryish pilsner with a little hop character. Better than many macro brands but nothing to get too excited about. Washed down a Chinese takeaway OK.

330ml bottle. Poured a golden amber with a medium white head of densly compacted foam. The head disappeared quickly with good lacing left on the glass. Aroma of hops with citrusy undertones. Crisp taste with a mild bitterness and silky mouthfeel
