OD40oz (410), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA Mar 31, 2008 This was some skunky smelling and tasting beer. I couldn’t believe how dissapointing this beer was. I think I’ll be steering clear of spaten brews in the future.
daknole (1030), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 21, 2008 golden pour. white head. malty and grainy aroma. Flavor is malty and a bit sweet, but nothing at all to write home about. zach8270 (1460), Henrietta, New York, USA Nov 19, 2008 (bottle - 500 ml) Clear yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and hoppy with a little bit of sweetness in it as well. Some light citrus hiding at the back. Flavor is very light and crisp at the start with a light touch of hops mixed with some spice and a little bit of yeast. The middle is crisp and sweet with hints of apple peels and then moves to a very dry and slightly bitter finish. Very nice. Glouglouburp (2085), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 30, 2008 <b>In short: </b>A macro-ish pseudo-pilsner lager.<br />
<b>How: </b>Bottle, drank fresh the day of purchase<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear yellow-blonde body topped by a short-lived small white head<br />
<b>In long: </b>Oily sugary cereals. Some honey. Taste of Corn Flakes™. Shy hops. Total lack of character. Macro sensation. Insultingly bland. Some rotten fruits as the beer warmed-up. I was in a road trip in the USA and after too many imperial-something I felt like a refreshing European lager. I picked one I didn’t know. That’s what I got. I would be in a trip over-sea and missing north-american food I would randomly chose something I never had and I’d pick a McFish sandwich. That’s the type of looser I am.
danielyabu (106), Curitiba, Brazil Sep 28, 2008 essa Pilsener alemã tem espuma de aparência inicial média e rochosa, de coloração branca e reduzida longevidade. Há boa formação de colarinho e o corpo é claro e borbulhante, de coloração amarelo pálido, brilhante. O aroma é moderadamente lupulado, com notas de grama e também adocicado. Já o sabor inicial é levemente doce e ácido; o final, de média duração, apresenta leve doçura e amargor. Compõem o paladar um corpo leve, de textura aguada, forte carbonatação e final metálico. É bem balanceada e refrescante.
17thfloor (789), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 15, 2008 Pours a light golden with a small thick frothy white head. Classic Spaten grassy, metallic, sweet malt aroma. This is a lovely pilsner, very malty yet remains very clean. Huge bitter aftertaste, dry finish and a bit bready as well. About as full bodied a pils as one can find, still smooth and quite crisp though, fantastic palate. Sweeter and richer, but still a pilsner with a nice hop bite.
