Saverne Boris

Brewed by Saverne (Karlsbrau)
Style: Pilsener
Saverne, France

250ml green bottle. Very thin white head. Gold colour. Strong grassy hop aroma perhaps a little bit skunky. No finish, thin watery and one dimensional. A slightly skunked strong but short lived hop taste. Reminds me of a South American clear bottled export.

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO in Ottawa. Freaky little stubby bottle is BLOWING MY MIND. The little red commy dude is also very strange - run Boris! RUN! Appearance is golden yellow, clear thin white head. Aroma is of bitter hops and a bit of skunkyness (green bottle glass issue perhaps). Taste is fairly one dimensional - ambient bitterness, slight maltyness, watery though with a bitter after taste.

This was a typical European lager that is not impressive. The green bottle lends to a skunky aroma and if not for the cheaper price, I would have passed this up.

These stupid green bottles are really getting old. If you ship from Europe, do not use green bottles. Of course, mine was skunked. I did like the cool little bottle. Poured with lots of carbonation and a large white head. Has a bright gold color. The aroma was skunked. The taste was very light and didn’t have the skunked taste. However, I could not pick out any flavors at all. Overall, this is awful.

Green 8.5 oz. bottle (what we used to call grenades). Dark golden color with a soft peak egg white head. Pale malt and herbal "noble" hops nose. Sweetness permeates the mouth followed by a dry bitterness. Some rather general comments, but then again so are the flavors. No real malt and no real hops flavors. Things get more bitter and bland as it warms. Stick your flag somewhere else.

fizzy yellow, no head. mild grassy hop and hair aroma. flavour isa the same, almost hoppy, but the water gets in thwe way. average euro-crap.

Strange bottle. Typical macro beer, not really much to talk about. In fact, I won’t tell anything about beer here except one thing : Watery.

Golden carbonated body with a thick bubbly head that lasts relatively long. Weak hoppy aroma. At least, there were no skunky hints. Refreshing hoppy taste with very subtle herbal hints. Short and moderately bitter final. Almost a copy of Kronenbourg, the standard french macro...
