Radeberger Pilsner

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Nose took a while to develop; hey, honey, peach. Pour a crystal clear pale yellow body topped with a pur tight white head that doesn't last and leaves a modicum of lace. Mouth is a thinish medium body. Flavor is clean and a bit timid. (This is what Bud, Miller, etc, should be to be a decent macro). There is a touch of sour fruit and the hopps are spot on for style, a nice balance between bittering and herbal notes. Underwhelming but very drinkable.

Pours a perfectly clear straw color with not much of a head. Highly carbonated. Aroma is fairly malty but subdued. Taste is quite malty and weedy. Fairly dry as well. Finishes off like you need to chug a glass of water to get the moisture back in your mouth. Not bad and sure beats the macros over here.

Pours a clear, golden straw color with a white, fluffy medium sized head with good retention and resulting lace is thin, but consistent and semi-sticky. The aroma has strong notes of sweet honey & bready malt, undercut by a hint of grassy hop. The taste follows the aroms witj malt forward to start, with hints of honey and bread combining for a sweet experience. Mid-taste a mildly bitter grassy hop pops up, adding a bit of balance to the brew, as both malt and hop ride out into the finish. Aftertaste is mostly a mild lingering bitterness. The mouthfeel is light to medium in body, with a decent amount of carbonation and is smooth and finishes semi-dry.

Draught @ The Beer Kitchen, KC .. . Pours a light gold, medium foam .. . pretty crisp .. . lots of hay in the mouth (horse!) .. . an ok euro lager but pretty mundane .. . When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

A deep golden colored beer with a medium sized, creamy textured, white head rising above. There’s some hang time on this one. A thick soapy ringlet is left behind. The nose and tasting are pretty straight forward in this one. Grassy hops and bready malt. A low carbonation is a disappointment. Light bodied and crisp finish round out this evaluation.

It pours a light amber with thin white head and copious lace. An aroma of sweet malts, light hops, citrus, and mild spice. The mouthfeel is smooth, silky, and rich. Flavors of sweet and sour malts, light hops, some mint, lemons and orange, and mild spiciness. Mmmm...very flavorful pilsner.

This beer pours a very pale gold colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, some hops, and something that I recognize......but can't identify. The taste is underwhelmingly malty.

Pours a clear gold with a white head. The aroma is very mildly hoppy. The straw malt is there, but a little thin and watery. The better pilsners tend to be malty in their own way and this one isn’t.
