COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Unusually, it is know that a beer is made by brewing Pilsner in a monastery. No "common-Pils", but a hochvergorenes, light and sweet beer, which is striking for its fine hop flavor

shrubber85 (5055) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - DEC 3, 2004
Bottle. Wheat malt aroma with hint of hops - noted sourness. Tan-yellow color with small head. Flowery hops and malt flavor - slightly on the sweet side. Decent body. Not bad, not great.

hotstuff (3249) - Indiana, USA - OCT 30, 2004
Bottle from the Ettaler Monastery in Oberammergau, Germany. White head, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated and a pale yellow hue. Weak malt aroma. Malt and lightly bitter flavor. Light bodied pilsener and very boring IMO.

thedm (4126) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - OCT 12, 2004
This The DM & Hotstuff’s European Honeymoon trip beer number 85. This bottled brew from the Ettaler Monastery in Oberammergau Germany poured a large head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained soft carbonation, was transparent and yellow in color. Its aroma contained notes of malt and was very mild. Its mouth feel is smooth with a slightly tingly palate and a malty aftertaste. Its flavor contained malty hoppy notes that favored the malts. A very average brew.

YogiBeera (2436) - Hamburg, GERMANY - OCT 9, 2004
Thank you hotstuff and thedm for bringing this to our little ratingsession. Straw yellow color, small layer of a head. Not much in the nose. Kind of grassy taste. Not a good pils.

Aldrighetti (162) - Coltura, ITALY - JUN 16, 2004
Bottle. Pale yellow, very clear. White head, irregular size bubbles, good lacing, medium glass sticking. Fresh hoppy aroma, hay, sawdust, malt flour, dough. Low aroma persistence. Initial honey taste, quickly followed by a clean herbal aroma, medium aromatic. Bitterness increase with a persistent herbal aftertaste. Dry palate, light astringent, medium to light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Not very exciting, but well made.

bierkoning (8109) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAR 23, 2004
Golden color, slightly hazy. Two months past best before date. Sweet apple and vinegar aroma. Hoppy flavor with a slight smokiness and sweet apples. A-typical pils, also probably past its peak. Still decent and full of flavor.

Dragonblaze99 (354) - Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 25, 2002
Creamy, yet rather thin-bodied beer with a pleasant taste, but nothing really special.

pivo (2540) - GERMANY - JAN 23, 2002
A faint, slightly unpleasant nose kind of fart-like greets you. The color is a little too pale blond for me. The taste is weak and not balanced: basically buttery with a touch of bitter. Has a creamy mouthfeel, yet a very thin body at the same time. Not a good beer.
