Saverne Boris

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

Bottle: Poured a very pale yellow color beer with a standard white foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma is totally skunked which is not a surprise considering they still insist on importing green bottle over the pond. Taste is also dominated by the skunked aroma. Body is totally watery and incredibly thin. More bad then boring.

Pale yellow with a light frothy white head that left slight lacing. Aroma was thin and grainy with a light sweetness. Flavour was also a bit thin for me. Clean pale lager flavour, with a dry almost tart bitterness in the finish. Fairly unremarkable in my opinion. .

Little bottle pours a pale golden colour with a foamy head. Perhaps due to the car ride home. It disappeared fast. The aroma is pleasant though it lacks anything memorable. Flavour might be excellent if it weren’t so subdued.

Had this one bottled. Pretty good, it’s got a slightly sour taste but the nose is flowery and finishes clean.

Against the grain here! Drnk_McDermott nailed this one. Slightly odd ruddy color: put me in the mind of a malt liquor perhaps. Tastes like a light, lightly carbonated lager, without the corn that others have noted. The fruit Drnk_ noticed, which he called cherries, was actually a slight hint of apples, cider, or even calvados. Definitely a European hoppiness, in the traditional pilsener vein. And, yes, a dry champagne finish. Went well with my seared tuna salad. And, by the way, I very seldom agree so completely with a previous rater!

8.5 oz bottle at Fresh Starts, Flossmoor (across from Flossmoor Station). Dated "08:05." I couldn’t help but find myself liking this. It was poured in a small, narrow Lindemand glass, presenting a slightly ruddy lager color and a thin head leaving rings behind. Taste is of the expected light lager, without the corn other rathers have mentioned. Slightly fruity background, perhaps of cherry, then a definite Euro-hop component, ending with a slgiht champage flourish.

An average pils at best, quite cheap in france, mais and sugary, little to no hops action at all in this one, pass next time.

Au Québec, il y a une expression que je déteste, la tit bière. Bien là voit ci, Boris, cali... oups! Une de de 250 ml. de je ne sais pas trop quoi, elle est buvable, mais pas plus. J’aime bien le message socialist sur l’embalage, mais c’est une bière commercial, sur tout qu’il font un cooler nommé Boris Cool.
