Radeberger Pilsner

Brewed by Radeberger Exportbierbrauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Radeberg, Germany

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Sampled at SF International Beer Fest. What can I say, it’s a pilsner. Yellow color, white head. Aroma is grainy with pale malt. Flavor is the same, slight grassy hops. Fairly thin palate. Incredibly average.

Bottle from Bevmo; 4th of the style I believe. Very clear, somewhat pale gold/yellow. Aroma was bready, sweet, with some earth/grass. Decent flavor. Bread and hay, with some earthy/grassy hops in the finish. I found it fairly dry. An ok beer overall.

330ml bottle (expiry 6.09). A clear pale yellow beer with a dense transient white head. Nose is average bready sweet malt and not much else. Taste is similar with hardly any hop flavours to speak about (some dry grassiness in there). Bland abrupt neutral finish. Medium bodied with a thickish texture and fizzy mouthfeel. Like most things from the old GDR it just doesn’t match up. There are many better German pilsners to try.

500 mL Can. Clear straw body with a frothy white head that settles to a thin but very tenacious foamy layer lacing the sides of the glass generously. Aroma is sweet malt and grassy hops with notes of citrus, honey, and floral. Flavor is sweet malt with a note of honey, dry-bitter hops expressing in the aftertaste and lingering mildly in the finish. Gutes Bier!

Sample at Total Wine Beerfest, Jacksonville Fl 4-18-2009. Light malt and grassy hop aroma. No skunk. Flavor was clean, hoppy German Pils. Pleasant and drinkable.

Tasting af Pia. Bottled, 130409. Golden with white head. Aroma and flavor with a touch of hay. Malt and a touch of hops

Bottle from bevmo. Clear gold pour. Mostly grain and bread flavor, with light hops.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with a nice white head. Malty straw aroma. The flavor is similar with just enough hop bitterness to make it worth drinking.
