Fink Bräu Pils 2,1%
Karlsberg Brauerei

 

Grabbed this one on the way to the alpine slopes. Another pale lager in the cheap segment! Very very foamy, head. Not much aroma, as usual for pale lagers. Hops are floral, light. Not much taste. Steered by bitter hops this beer is! medium bitterness, light sweetness, ok but boring. Palate: light body, thin feel, fizzy, astringent finish. Nothing special in this beer. But considering it’s cheap price, not bad. So in time of crisis this is a decent pils!

The colour is very, very, very pale yellow. The white foam sinks quickly down to a thin lid.

The smell is quite weak; there are notes of hay, chalk, wet paper and a hint of some hops.

The carbonation is short and sticky.

The taste is extremely thin. I could notice some dry grass and wet paper. There is a total lack of development and body in this brew.

The very weak aftertaste got some touches of chalk.

This beer is the worst low alcohol beer that I have seen so far (and low alcohol brew are quite popular in Sweden due to tax regulations and traditions). It is brewed exclusively for the Germany-based low price grocery chain Lidl.
