Baden Baden 25/10 2016. 50 cl from tap on an Italian restaurant.
Pours clear golden yellow with a small white head. Stable. Settles as a thing layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing on the side of the glass.
Aroma is lightly fruity with a bitter touch. Sweet caramel and peach. Whiff of lemon and grass.
Medium strong carbonation and watery palate. Lively texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by a pronounced bitterness. The aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while.
Good for lunch. Solid pilsner without being extraordinary.

Aktien Pilsner, by Bayreuther Bierbrauei from Bayreuth. This brewery has beers I've tried before and can be found out and about in bars all over Gemany often: the Aktien Zwick'l Kellerbier, Aktien Landbier. All of which is to say it's owned by Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel, which is a completely independent brewery, according to the Wiki page.
Appearance: Looks like a typical Pils, which means deep clear golden beer under a rich, frothy, snow white head that hangs around a long, long time.
a little Noble hop aromas lingering in the background. Bready, biscuity, your typical German Pils malt aroma.
Flavor:
Front: A decent amount of bitterness, not that heavy though, and stays on the lighter side. It's there but not overly pronounced, and it's accompanied by astringent tartness with some sugar-like sweetness from Pils malts.
Mid: More bitterness here, but it's still milder than the ones I had before, and the tart/astringent notes are more present here. On the sides, again, sweet, super sweet Pils malts.
Back: More bitterness, astringency, but it's hard to find the Pils malt in here, but it's there, only too sweet... not that great really.
Aftertaste: Bitter and sweet linger but not much and fade out quickly.
Mouthfeel: It's typical in the right amount of thickness, yet it's also crisp and spritzy.
Overall: Disappointing, really. It's got a decent level of bitterness and tartness rolling around, but the Pils malt sweetness is either missing or just too sweet to make it really enjoyable. I really expected a lot more, and compared to the beers from around this region, not even half as good. It's not in the Fernsehbier category but almost there. If you're in this area, there are a lot of better Pils than this.
