Beer Review #54: Warsteiner Pilsner

Style: Pilsner

Menu description: Cool & crisp, tangy malts, bread notes.

ABV: 4.8%

Tasting notes: Very pale with a distinctive scent. This has a sweet taste. There’s gotta be some kind of fruit or honey in here. It’s interesting, not like much else I’ve had before. Definitely different from the pilsners I’m used to.

Rating: 3/5

Beer Review #46: Krombacher Pilsner

Style: German pilsner

Menu description: Germany’s number one selling premier pilsner. Grassy notes, grainy pine malts, crisp.

ABV: 4.8%

Tasting notes: This has a nice sweet malt aroma. It’s slightly sweet, but predominantly tastes of a grass infused…. Pilsner flavor? I don’t know quite how to describe it. Most pilsners seem to me to have a characteristic flavor that I haven’t tasted elsewhere. It’s got a malt backbone, but is pretty light and sort of herbal. There’s a dryness to it as well. This has a strong carbonation, which helps support its crisp feel. The aftertaste is slightly metallic, which I’m not a fan of. It’s not bad for a pilsner, but it’s still a pilsner, so I’m not really a big fan.

Rating: 3/5
