“Crowned the official drink by King Friedrich August III of Saxony, Radeberger, a pilsner style beer brewed near Dresden, is characterized by its dazzling and refreshing taste and has long been enjoyed by German nobility.”

Glassware: Stein.

Appearance: Slightly pale golden complexion with a light and fluffy two finger head. Good retention and oodles of lace on the glass.

Aroma: We’ve been on somewhat of a side quest recently (if y’all haven’t noticed) listing a bunch of OG beers we started our craft journey on that we were yet to review. This is another staple from back in the day. Smells like pure German goodness. Noble hops are front centre – herbs, spice, light florals and mildew. Grainy/crackery/biscuity malt profile. It’s crisp, clean and super savoury. Hasn’t changed one bit!

Flavour: Displaying a bit more malt here. Pronounced cereal grains, slight biscuity/water cracker notes upfront with the spicy and herbal Noble hop notes tucked in neatly behind. A delicate bitterness midway sets up for a fairly dry, crisp and herbal finish which offers pretty good legs for a Pilsner.

Mouthfeel: Crisp and clean but with decent grip on the way down. Mild-medium body and the 4.8% ABV is right on the money.

Overall: One of the best aspects of Euro beer in our opinion is that they hardly ever change. This is tasting just like it did back in the early 2000’s when we first tried it. Delish!
