Neumarkter Lammsbräu (Organic) Pilsner
Neumarkter Lammsbräu

 

 

 

I've had this several times now, from tap and from bottle, and I really want to like it more, but it just isn't as tasty as many other German Pilsners around in Germany. It's more grassy and hoppy than some, but still missing that little something extra that I can't put my finger on. I love the idea of drinking bio (organic) beer, but it isn't quite on the same level as other breweries here. That being said, it's still very solid, and it's better than 95% of American pilsners... Germany is just a competitive place to be for beer.

This might be a great pilsner at the source but the green glass receptacle does this beer no justice since there's a moderate skunkiness in both the aroma and flavor. Drinkable but not especially enjoyable. Probably the last beer I'll ever buy in green glass unless it's a lambic or saison.

 

Love this beer. So subtle, refined, clean, yet leaves you thinking that there is a lot going on and took a lot of thought to brew.

Stormin' MA, along with Tannen Zäpfle and some others, as part of a series of ultra expensive premium German imports. Zaple was fantastic, so I didn't think too hard about dropping 11 bucks on a four-pack of Lammsbrau.

Also, labeling really goes overboard stressing the "organic" angle.

Nice pour. Slight haze, heavily effervescent, straw-colored with an excellent, rocky head.

Smells a bit tame, almost more like a municher than a pils. Straw, grass, flowers, and a little bit of dry hops.

Tastes as it smells: nicely brewed, excellent balance, but pretty darn meek for the style. Starts with grass, dandelions, and yeast, gets a bit more bitter and sharp as it goes along but still never reaches the level of complexity I would like to see out of a beer that costs almost three bucks a bottle.

Am I a snob? Kinda. But super-premium price should mean super-premium beer, and while this is very nicely brewed I just don't think it was worth the money.

From the green 330 ml. bottle. Poured into a Gilde Pilsener glass on March 22, 2015.

It looks the way it should with its straw yellow color and tremendous, white foamy head. Busy carbonation. It's a beer.

The green bottle sets it off a touch with that skunkiness but I can pick up traditional toasty German malts and a grassy sort of hop character. It's a beer.

Light and refreshing body.

The taste echoes the German malt and clean, crisp grassy hop bitterness of the aroma. This goes with just about nay meal - in my case -it is Shepherd's Pie. It is your typical pilsener beer and there is no denying it.

I really enjoyed this. Creamy and refreshing.
