Radeberger Pilsner

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

Pale golden yellow, medium head no retention. Weak aroma (malt, hops). Flavor is a unique blend of malt and hops, very noticeable and I wonder if it is the brewing process that makes a difference here. Lager or Pilsner? Definitely pilsner. Has a subdued silken sweetness at work yet the finish is very dry. Good brew!

Bottle. Yellow colour. Big fluffy average lasting head. Aroma of malts, and hops with a touch of some fruitiness. Flavour of hops, some maltiness with a nice crispy dry finish. Good average lasting dry hoppy aftertaste. The East German Goverment put a lot of money in to this brewery keeping as an export brewery to show the rest of the world the great GDR (DDR) beer. And the positive things is that the beer still is great.

Malty nose, but almost smelled a bit like freezer burn. Pale golden with a nice creamy head. Full bodied with notes of malts in the front and hops on the finish. Fairly skunky, mild bitter finish.

Tenerife 2006. Straw with a huge head. The aroma is neutral with a weak touch of hops and malt. The flavour has a nice bitterness, but that is the only thing it can offer. 1567

There is a fair deal of history behind this beer as well as this brewer, but seeing it on the shelves of liquor stores vying for sales alongside the likes of Crown Lager and Hahn Premium is a sad old sight. Anyway, this pours a pale, dull gold with surmountable, eddying bubbles heaving up a wickedly fluffy, rocky white crown that grew it’s inch and held there to daub a lot of froth in its wake. Wheaty, dry, palest malt nose, with a piercing blend of chives and celery, cracked pepper and spring onion. Smells like a fresh toasted herb bread. Honeyish sweet start in the mouth, tangy on the sides yet mostly dry through the rest and into the swallow. Grainy, dusty, malty base, peppermint edge in back being generously bitter and peppery as it slips passed the tonsils. Quite crisp and very clean for the length. Body is quite light with a pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Easy to drink, and quite a surprise of a brew. Average, though decent, balanced and one that simply does the job!!!

Clean flow,slight hop impact.A typical Geman lager.A perfect lawn mower brew.Bravo to all Germans who support their LOCAL brewerys.Worth seeking in the Dresden area.4.8% is the perfect alc/vol.If u go higher the beer is too sweet.My cousin always has 5 cases in the garage in Arnsdorf.

Pours golden with a huge foamy head. Aroma is faint but of pale malts. Taste is more malty and seems closer to a helles than a pilsner. Either way decent beer, but doesn’t really stand out in any way.

Beer 42 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/6/06 at my hotel’s bar (Fleming’s Hotel Bar) in Frankfurt. Draft inot a .3L glass. Although this is not a fantastic beer it was really nice having it in this instance. It was a rainy night, I was havingthis beer with some chocolate mouse, while listening to some covers on the stereo. Bitter is my overall impression.
