Warsteiner Premium Verum

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

On tap at The Tap House. Pours light amber with a thin but lacy white head. Nuts, caramel and noble hop nose. Medium-light body and carbonation. Biscuit-y caramel taste. Crisp finish that treads surprisingly close to macro lagers.

12 oz brown bottle. Pop the lid and get a whiff of cabbage family cooked vegetables. After it ends up in the glass it is much more attractive, has a plastic or chemical sterile aroma. The look of this beer is rather different than others. At first I thought that it was full of fine bubbles that was not rising to the top but upon closer inspection I see these are some kind of particles in there floating around. This is interesting and hypnotizing, I hope I just don’t have a bad bottle. I looked in the bottom of the bottle, like a wheat beer, and there is no sludge on the bottom, go figure. Other than that the beer is pale yellow with a ring around the inside of the glass for a head. Very smooth initial flavors. It has the same kind of flavor that the aroma insists. It’s not plastic or chemical in a bad way, it seems very refined and controlled. There is a slight hop or malt bitterness that builds on the back of the throat. Enjoyable with just the right amount of bitter personality. The carbonation provides just the right amount of tingle on the back of your tongue. The bitterness that builds as you drink keeps trying to insult the back of my throat but really never quite gets there. Overall a well mannered refined and cultivated German beer taste. I’m sorry I waited so long to taste this.

Deep straw in color with a small white head. Aroma and flavor is very clean and crisp, grainy malt and faint hops. Finishes thin and dry.

11.2 oz. bottle picked up for $5 a 12-pack - Pours a clear light golden color with a 3/4 finger thick white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is grain and herbal hops. Flavor is the same. Medium body. No unpleasant aromas or off flavors. A nice easy drinking Pils. For $5 a 12-pack, I’ll be buying the shit out of this beer.

A deep golden pour with white head. Not much on the nose, just a hint of corn and not much else. Very clean light malt flavor with a hint of bitter on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium carbonation is good as well. Solid offering. Clean crisp and refreshing. I drank it at 50* at about 40 it would be really easy to drink.

piss yellow with a bright white head, fresh-like but urinated budweizer aroma, flavor reminiscent of budweizer with a sweet finish, 'OH its German, it can't be as bad as BUD', however my friends, its not far from it...

Pours a pale golden color. Aroma is sweet and grainy. Flavor is a little malty, some hops are present as well. Finish is a little grainy and spicey. Good pilsner.

On tap. Pours yellow with a decent white head. Not much aroma present. Maybe a hint of sweet malt aroma, but that’s about it. Nice balance of hops and malt. A bit thin, but very easy to drink.
