No shortage of foam. Regular beer color. Malty aroma. Standard beer taste. Nothing too special. There are better and worse out there. Nothing to write home about.

A: Amber, hazy,vdecent sized head which disappeared fairly quickly, left some lacing.

S: Didn't have much of an aroma, faint hints of malt.

T: Malt, biscuit, sour fruits.

M: Smooth texture, medium to heavy body, low carbonation.

O: Not overly complex or offensive, decent budget beer, would buy again if the price was right

Reviewing again as I quite liked their pilsner and I'm bored.

Not entirely sure what kind of beer this is. No hops, only extract...usually not a great sign.

Lots of head, quite a milky cloudy appearance. Light not particularly inviting aroma.

Creamy, tastes like it is from draft. Smooth. Taste unfortunately is kind of milky and forgettable. Not a fan, though I quite liked their pilsner. Needs real hops.

From the half liter can, it pours a slightly hazy amber color with a modest, though long lasting, white head that does leave some lacing. The nose gets some very light malt and some yeast. The mouth follows with a lightly malty easy drinking brew that is perfect after a long hot day.

Look: It pours amber with a white head. Head retention is good.

Smell: It has bready aromas with some yeast.

Taste: It has some bready flavors with yeast compliments. There may be a touch of herbal hops, but the hops are only hints.

Feel: It has a medium body with a neutral finish.

Overall: This beer has more yeast character than most others with malty flavors.

On the road to Copenhagen from Bremen. 22/7 2023. 50 cl can from Edeka Center Bremen Hastedt, Pfalzburger Strasse, Bremen. As "Paderborner Pilger NaturtrĂ¼b". Off-white can with a crude drawing of a church.

Pours unclear golden, dirty yellow with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin but unbroken layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with a mild sourish scent. Sweet pale malts, bread, cider and a bit of honey. Caramel, toffee and biscuits.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a light bitter undertone. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.

Sweetish, pleasant Landbier.

Paderborner Isenbeck Brauerei Haus Cramer GmbH & Co. KG "Paderborner Pilger"
,5L can coded "Mindestens haltbar bis: 12.07.22 A104"

Look: Hazy russet brown-copper colored body beneath a standard sized head of khaki colored foam.
Smell: Grainy, nutty, toasted bread with a very light dusting of sweet cocoa powder and some mildly floral hops.
Taste: As the aroma suggests, but also doughy sweet with more cocoa. Mild herbal hops in the background come forward in the dry finish.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp.
Overall: An enjoyable change frome the usual Pilsner, helles, and dunkel.

Picked up a single 500ml at Globus. Popping the top I get a sweet malt smell with flowery hops. Pours to a cloudy orange yellow with a white head. Taste is up front sweet with some breadiness and lots of yeast, a more balanced middle and a more bitter finish that cleans up with no lingering aftertaste. A nice brew that would go great with sausage and sauerkraut.
