33cl bottle - Fürstenberg usually produces dishwater for the disco and football crowd, none of their 6 beers I sampled at the brewery had anything unique or even tasty going on for them. Their "Edelbräu" (no 80’s chique exaggerations are spared in Donaueschingen) is a typical SW-Pils: good, but sweetish dry malts (with even a roasted, almond quality to them), antiquely underhopped and lackluster as a pilsner overall. Drinkable, but they should tone down the nobility of their label - it creates expectations they are not remotely interested in fulfilling.

Tap in Donaueschingen. Super pale golden body, lacing white head. Lightly but lastingly sweet, malt-forward fur sure with almost no hops. Thin body but moreish. Has some faint but pretty apple.

Poured a clear gold with not much head. Aroma was somewhat floral, caramel and spice. Flavor was about the same. Pretty good for the style

#1177 Das Bier hat eine typische pilsgelbe Farbe, ist spritzig mit feinporigem Schaum. Es ist primär hopfig-herb, ohne dabei ins bittere abzurutschen. Im Mittelteil schmeckts getreidig; der Malzkörper ist sehr zurückhaltend. Insgesamt sehr sophisticated und unbedingt probierenswert!

Ansprechend dunkelhopfiger Antrunk der mit der Zeit noch etwas stärker wird. Wenig malzig, die Hopfigkeit ist eindeutig weiter der stärkste Ton. Würzig-getreidig im Mittelteil und im Abgang, der Hopfen ebbt nur sehr langsam ab. Im Abgang kurzzeitig noch etwas würziger. Gelungenes und frischer Pils. Danke an quack-duck. Test vom 5.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,12,11,12,9,12 - 11,50

Bottle 50 cl. A clear golden beer with medium head that goes quickly. Nose is vegetable like. Aroms is nicely caramel-sweet like, some grassy and floral notes, good bitterness and malty notes especially at the finish. Easy drinkable, pleasant pilsener.

Bottle. Strong smell of malt and hops, rather sweet. The white creamy head is small, the body is pale yellow. The taste is rather bitter with a metallic finish. The body is light and dry with a normal carbonation.

The bottle looks very, very good, the beer in the glass also. Zippy, nice head. Starts hoppy-dry, not too much, modest bitter. Sourish notes in the background make the beer interesting. Well balanced finish, still nicely hoppy. Great beer!
