Ok....never had this before...not sure why there is a local and an export version. Surely they wouldn't want to export the best version?
Quite dark for a pilsner (if it actually is a pilsner). Head looks pretty impressive and stays for at least a few minutes.
Aroma is pretty strong, I'm getting lots of Czech and German hops...much stronger than most pilsners for sure. Very inviting, not too sweet or fruity...just pure pilsner.
This is really good, I'm surprised that I didn't hear of this before. But I guess 2 weeks ago, I had never heard of Radeberger...and that is totally amazing and now my favourite German pilsner. It's a bit too warm so I'm going to add a few ice cubes.
Malt is not the best, but hops are kind of complex. This is difficult not to like...I still prefer Radeberger by far, and Krombacher. But it's better than most other German pilsners for sure. The taste is complex, and the malt is a little off tasting for me. But I did just drink and Asahi, so maybe it's why. It has no genitcally modified materials in according to the label. Great! This is really good for sure, I just don't like the overall taste as much as many other beers...it's not quite bitter enough, and kind of has too varied of a flavour...it dingles around like Man City without Erling Haaland.

500 ml can, bought in Spain. ABV is 5.4%. Crystal clear pale yellow colour, big white head. Sweetish aroma, some malts and floral hops. Fairly sweet flavour, tolerably balanced with the hops, the alcohol is noticeable though. Still better than I feared, easy drinking when cold.

De color dorado, con un pequeño cordón de espuma de poca retención. Cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma herbáceo y lupulado. Sabor ligeramente dulce, algo plana. Inferior a Oettinger Pils.

Pours a clear yellow with thick, soft head.
Smell is clean and bready, slightly floral. Pretty mild nose overall.
Taste is clean and crisp, bready with a hint of popcorn and a mild, floral bitterness. Slight hint of yeast on the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium well carbonated.
Overall, a nice lager, crisp and refreshing.

Their pils was quite okay so I decided to try this one too (here we are again, so much about Japanese beers...)
This was a bit less pleasant as the pils, had some cheesiness to the aroma and the taste turned a bit sweet as it warmed. Was not bad though but I would choose the pils if I was to drink it again. At least better than Japanese beers, nevertheless.

Review: 50 cl Can of Oettinger Export: ABV: 5.4%
The cheap beer with added value.
On pour a lot of carbonation producing a very clear golden colour. A big bubbly white head appears which does die a death pretty fast to leave a small flat head. No lacing. Appearance is ok, nothing special.
Has a good beery smell, a bit faint but good all the same, yeasty, grainy….
Bit of a biting metallic taste, but goes and once you get over that the beer is quite enjoyable
Can taste the malts, the grains and the yeast
All in the front taste, nothing remarkable in the back end which is a little bit dry.
Not bad. Smooth and filling, getting nice big creamy mouthfuls.
Strong bitter hoppy taste might not be suitable for everyone, but it doesn’t hang around and I found it bearable.
Beery. I like it. Sessionable enough though, especially for the price. The beer to price ratio in this beer is excellent, Cheap beer equals good session

500ml can
appearance: clear golde, good amount of carbonation builds a 2 finger head that stays for a while. Good retention.
smell: sweet malts and somewhat artificial hop sensation.
taste: it's pretty sweet, malty and with a decent bitterness level.
mouthfeel: medium bodied. The carbonation felt too heavy on my stomach.
overall: decent lager, better than most of the local offerings.
