Saverne Boris

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

Not a very complex beer. Tastes very strong for style. Fruity nose, a bit skunky as well. I’d pass on this one.

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.

500ml can..no date code Hard pour puts a crystal clear gold lager in the glass with a instantly disappearing cap and no lacing ( uh-oh is see adjucts) Aroma...like wet paste board soaked in weak corn syrup ( uh-oh is smell dextrin syrups) Taste: fizzy, bland, watery, wealk malt presence, over filtered with the prominenece of stale over-boiled cheap hop pellets..finish is dry, fast and there is a malt/corn extract cardboard after taste (uh-oh I taste malt extracts and dextrin syrup suppliments) Now I know why I waited years to buy just one to sample because buying six would leave 5 to go bad waiting for me to revist this bland over-processed concoction....in the vein of domestic extract-brewed buck a beer swill, but priced like a premium import...pass it up.

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.

250ml green bottle. Fast carbonation. White vanishing head atop a golden body. Slight vegetable tinge to the nose and skunk. A little grainy taste, light dose of hops in the finish.

Pours a clear golden color. No head. Smells terrible, off corn and artificial applejuice. Flavor is dry malty and nasty, just terrible. The French should stick to the vino’

Bright gold, no head. Skunky aroma. Bitter and dry and sour all at once. It’s drinkable, but no more so than a macro on its best day.

500 ml can. poured pale yellow with small white head that dissapeared quickly. aromas are very hard to find, a little malty sweetness shows as it warms. flavours are almost non-existant. no hops at all. watery, bland and boring.
