Saverne Boris

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

500ml can sampled from a friend. This err... wasn’t good. It wasn’t horrible either. There isn’t really much to say about it. Take your average lager and shift the flavour around a bit. No hops present on the tongue, not sweet either. Just plain and boring. But not disgusting either. Take it as you will.

skunk skunk and more skunk! when will they learn, no green bottles!! You can tell there is some flavour in there, some mild, hops, and maybe soem decent malt, but whoa! skunk!

Bottle. Crisp,fresh aroma with hints of citrus. Golden in colour with a thin to non existent head. Fresh flavour, a little fruity but thin and weak. Not for me. Typical French beer.

Well, there’s definitely some actual hops in there, and it’s slightly deeper in colour than a lot of other low-end lagers, but still, it had sort of a dirty dish-rag flavour to it. Weird floaties are quite evident as well. Made me slightly sick, but mostly from the carbonation. I guess it’s just one of lousiest pilsners available, so don’t expect much.

Watery, yellow beer. The French can do much better. I picked it up because of the intriguing bottle design. Not worth it otherwise.

Yellow in colour, no head whatsoever. Smells wheaty with nothing too complex. Tastes like apple juice. Not much of a beer at all.

500ml can, 5.5% a/v Gold pour with a generous white head. Aroma consists of corn, malt, and fruit. The taste is fresh and citrusy, with green apple taste. Very nice beer, much b etter then anticipated. Nice green apple and hop finish.

A touch of orange in the appearence, with a bright, citrus and apple nose. Fresh but bitter on entrance - increasing as it fills the mouth. If not for the cream, hint of vanilla and the crispness, the bitterness would spoil. The bitterness does fade somewhat on the finish as well.
