500 ml bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with two fingers of white head. Odor of grass. Nice, crisp, and refreshing pilsner, with a soft bitter aftertaste. Not too sweet, not bad at all.

Bitter-Good bitter, lots of hops and none of that burnt malt crap. No skunk, pleasant hoppy nose, a very solid pilsener from the area where this type of beer was invented.

Bottled. A solid pilsner, marginally better than average. Bright gold, low carbonation for the style, and a thick white head. Mild hops, some bitterness, and the standard German pilsner flavor. Just a little dry.

Sampled in Trier, Germany: Aroma is of cereal malts with hops in the background. Poured translucent golden, with a white head the stayed on top of the beer throughout drinking. Flavor is a bit malty and medium dry, not as dry and crisp as a Bitburger, and definitely less hop flavor. Light body. Alright.

Pours light golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of herbal noble hops. Tastes of bready munich, cookie, herbal and lightly resinous noble hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, moderately bitter with lively carbonation. Enjoyable and easy drinking Pils.

I believe Radeberger is chock full of Saaz hops. It gives the pilsner a mint flavor to it. Golden body with lacing throughout the sample. Probably an enjoyable beer on an August afternoon in Dresden.

500ml bottle poured into a footed Pilsner glass. RP pours very pale yellow much like a macro beer. The head is stark white and creamy looking. Radeberger has that classic German beer aroma that always reminds me of good clean mountain water and fresh hay. The body is dry and crisp. The taste is pretty much what you would expect from a pils. I’ve had hundreds of beers very similiar to this while in Germany. Unfortunately I didn’t care about tracking them at the time. This would be a great local staple beer but doesn’t really stick out in the realm of rememberably beers. It is extremely easy to drink and is almost as thirst quenching as a good wheat beer.
