Radeberger Pilsner

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

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

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.

UPDATED: JUL 11, 2010 Clear golden pour white head .... a decent pilsner some bitter aftertaste from the hops there is nothing really special about this beer its an easy drinking pilsner with some floral hop

A good steady pils with enough hoppy pep to get my taste buds rockin. I like it

0.5 l bottle. Golden color with medium head. Herbal-peppery hops, grainy notes and straw in the aroma. Dry, somewhat malty and bitter flavor with some herbal hoppiness in the finish. Fairly weak flavor for a german pils.

Pretty much your typical pilsener. Nothing spectacular about it, but not offensive in any way.

Average for a pilsner I’d say. Nice additional hop bitterness and aroma. Better than a lot of alternatives but still lacking something compared to such comparables as Brooklyn or Dogfish.

This was definitely my favorite East German beer. The beer has a nice golden color and a crisp refreshing taste. Not nearly as bitter as other pilsners. Das Bier erinnert mich an die schoene Stadt, Dresden.
