We didn’t mind Egerer 1788 Super Weizen at all now did we reader? It was a very cheap Weizen ($8 per/L we worked out) that was largely inoffensive and played the part of a Hefeweizen well with stewed banana, clove and the rest of the common Weizen actors. So here’s their Schwarzbier [Black Lager] on the chopping block (aka my scientifically-proven review system – did ya hear that? “scientifically-proven” and entirely objective/unbiased, you can’t dispute this!*). Schwarzbier is one of my least reviewed styles, and I have no idea why because a good Schwarz can be a thing of beauty. In any case Egerer doesn’t have a great deal of competition here for me.
Poured from a 500ml can into a stein.
A: Black beer this ain’t: clear cola brown body, towering beige head of destruction, decent lashings of lace inside the glass. Aside from the lighter-than-black colour this looks as decent as the Weizen did. 7/10.
S: Bready yeast/malt character mingles with a light roasted malt note, hints of a clean spicy hop back-end and a crisp cracker finish. A light smorgasbord of aromas pinched from the “best of German beers” album with a touch too much of a featherweight lightness. Clearly the flavour is going to need a bit to bring it all together lest it become a muted soggy mess of a brew. 6/10.
T: Upfront bread character of a Munich Helles Lager with a dash of a cola-like (as in the soft drink) tang, mid-palate light roasted malt, herbal hop-back, bit of a dry cracker finish, though not overboard dry. Flavour-wise this is a bit more like a Munich Helles than a Schwarzbier – that the dominant flavour is white bread is a tip-off there. Hints of cola and roasted malt the only thing giving this a proper Schwarz vibe. It’s light in flavour, however Schwarzbiers do tend to be on the lighter side anyhow. 6/10.
M: OK body for a Schwarz: medium bodied but watery as hell [oxymoron alert?], carbonation is dense but a tad too thin, in the mid-range for a Schwarz TBH. 6/10.
D: Not a bad beer from Egerer, albeit a bit on the boring side, not every beer can be as good as Weihenstephan though – and we’ve had this conversation before. Nor does every beer NEED to be as good as a Weihenstephan beer – there’s a time and place for everything… and add money to that equation too. 6/10.
Food match: I reckon this and a semi-decent pizza = good times.
*Jokes on you – I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about.
