Advocating Beer Variety
Brewery: Oettinger in Bavaria, Germany Style: Pilsner ABV: 4.7% IBUs: 32 Rate Beer: 6/100 Pour: Straw yellow with a big white head. Malty, bready flavour with a little bit of sweetness. Not as crisp as I’d like a Pilsner to be, but decent enough. I remember first drinking these when they were like $10 for a six pack of 500ml cans. When your […]
Brewery: Bayerische Staatsbrauerei in Bayern, Germany Style: Pilsner ABV: 5.1% IBUs: 32 Rate Beer: 44/100 Pour: Straw yellow colour with a big foamy white head. A white bread, almost pasta type flavour. There’s a noble hop bitterness that is quite herbal and spicy. It doesn’t feel as balanced as a Czech Pilsner. It may not be the freshest version of this beer either […]
Brewery: Paulaner in Munich, Germany Style: Hefeweizen ABV: 5.5% IBUs: 16 Rate Beer: 90/100 Pour: Cloudy golden yellow with a big white head on pour. Sweet, bready malt aroma. Big hit of banana and sweet pastry on the tongue. A true German Hefeweizen designed to be drunk during Oktoberfest celebrations. Coming in a big 500ml, it […]
Brewery: Weihenstephaner in Bavaria, Germany Style: Alcohol free Hefeweizen ABV: 0.5% IBUs: 14 Rate Beer: 12/100 Pour: Cloudy yellow with a big white head. A Dry July experiment to see if there is such a thing as a good non-alcoholic beer. This has some resemblance to a hefeweizen. The banana/clove yeasty flavours make this almost seem […]
Brewery: Weihenstephaner in Bavaria, Germany Style: Alcohol free Helles Lager ABV: 0.5% IBUs: 21 Rate Beer: 6/100 Pour: Washed out straw yellow colour with a small white head. A Dry July experiment to see if there is such a thing as a good non-alcoholic beer. This is quite sweet but under the sweetness is hints of […]
Brewery: Weihenstephaner in Bavaria, Germany Style: Dunkel ABV: 5.2% IBUs: 24 Rate Beer: 59/100 Pour: Copper brown in colour with a slight red hue in the light. Sweet, malty flavour with hints of toffee and caramel. A full flavour and body makes this dark lager really enjoyable to drink as the days get cooler in late […]
Brewery: Weihenstephener in Bayern, Germany Style: Festbier ABV: 5.8% IBUs: 26 Rate Beer: 37/100 Pour Light straw colour with a good white head that slowly fades out Tastes awfully lot like a pilsner. Crisp, clean, light. Slight earthy hop notes. I wished I had saved this for tomorrow for the Bushfire Appeal concert, because this is […]
I like a good schwarz beer. Dark lagers have a place and this one is not too bad
