Warsteiner Premium Verum

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

A rather simple German pilsener. Very clean tasting, no flaws. Light malt flavors with a grassy/citric hop bitterness. Crisp and refreshing.

Lighter in flavor than most of the big name european pilsners but also has less of the horrible skunky aroma. Nice pale golden color. Weak head. Pleasant bit of sweetness. Slight hop bite in the finish complimented by just the right amount of carbonation.

A basic German pilsner. Very crisp with a quick bite, but no lingering taste. A light amber color with white head as expected. Nothing new here, not very exciting, but an all around decent beer.

Medium Head/. You can really taste the hops on this one. The malty flavors clings on your mouth for a while.

From the tap, served in a Warsteiner pilsener glass. Poured a clear pale golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing, leaving ring lacing. Aromas of sweet crackerish pilsener malts and hayish and spicy hoppiness. Crisp and dry, with good carbonation, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Dry grainy and cracker maltiness balanced by a hayish and spicy hoppiness, a little herbalness and a dry hoppy and malty finish, good pilsener drinkability. A pilsener to have on a hot summer, I’m going to pick up a mini-keg of this soon.

1. On Tap at Wilkie’s Tavern, Warrington 04/02/2003 Clear golden coloured with a pale aroma. Bitter crisp finish. 2. On Tap at the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge 10/12/2005 Clear golden crisp and hoppy pils with some bitterness and dryness in a smooth finish.

On tap. A nice pils/lager. Good quality hops and a little more malt than some pilsener types. Crisp yet smooth, very pleasant finish.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden/yellow with lots of visible carbonation and a fizzy white head. Bready aroma with lots of malt. Flavor is crisp and refreshing. A nice pilsner and much better then some of the other German pilsners out there.
