The perfect composition of the best hops and selected fine malts bring the classic bitter character of Einbecker Brewery Premium Pils to mature perfection. The classic from Einbeck is a pure delight, either freshly tapped in a glass or in its exclusive bottle.

Look - light gold, thick head of two fingers in a Stange
Smell - light bread
Taste - balanced bitterness, biscuit taste, dry, refreshing, a solid Pilsner, really pleasant bitter aftertaste
Feel - smooth, a little carbonic bite, but not much
Overall - this is a very good to outstanding beer. I could drink this every day.

pint can poured into tall mug
(no born-on or best-by dates on can)

L: clear light gold, no amber/copper in it, topped by a thick head of white foam about 1.25 inches tall; no major sticking or lacing, but it does keep a full sudsy skin of white foam and thick collar; simple but pretty beer

S: lightly sweet bready malt, like a peach kolache, with hints of lemon zest or lemongrass sprinkled on top ... more malt than hops in the aroma, but both are present; as it warms the lemon zest/peel turns almost into sweet lemon

T: bitter up front ... dirt, lemon peel, more earth, bit of black pepper ... very nice hop bite to open followed by smoother, maltier flavors, mainly a light bready sweetness, arguably a bit of cracker malt; the hops are definitely more earthy and rustic than anything else — they want to turn a bit green (grass, green onion, cilantro) at times but never really get there, lemon peel is about the only "flavor" they produce with them serving more as a balancing agent to the malt than a flavor component; as it warms, the sweeter malt flavor joins the show much earlier, making for a tasty quaff

F: light middleweight with loads of carbonation after a fairly strong pour; drinking through the skin and thick collar of foam softens the arrival in a lovely way

O: full disclosure: I LOVE pilsners, so take my review with a couple grains of German salt; I'm fully digging this brew, it's hop profile is more English bitter style than anything from the citrus, green or grassy styles of noble and Old World hops, but that's not a knock, just a note to self that this one won't deliver those other hop flavors; what it does deliver is a near-perfect kick of earthy/black pepper hop bite to balance out a nice peach kolache style malty sweetness ... maybe not world class but still very solid

Pours a clear straw yellow color with a medium top of white head that dissolves quickly.
Aroma is of grains, hay, grass, white bread, earthy and herbal hops.
Grassy and grainy flavour allong with light malt notes in the back. Finishes with a decent amount of herbal and grassy hoppiness.
Mouthfeel is crisp and clean with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
A easy drinking and decent german pilsner

It's not every day that a German Pilsner-style beer knocks my socks off. After all, the real Pilsner is made in Czech. Most German Pils have a silent "L".

But this one, oh what a marvelous specimen of German tenacity.

Poured from a green 11.2 oz bottle into a snifter.

A happy summery grassy aroma. A clear golden straw color. And a fantastic cracker grassy noble hops taste throughout.

I'll be buying a 5L mini keg next time I'm at that beer store.

Wow. Yes. Jawohl. Natürlich.

No can date
Pours a fizzy bubbly 1 finger head with lower retention, a touch of lacing, mostly clear very light hazy sediment golden pilsner color

Nose lots of doughy pilsner malt, cereal, grainy straw, raw doughy grist like, touch of vanilla and corn, light herbal spicy hop

Taste brings cereal grain, straw, lots of raw dough and again that rustic earthy grist, some corn, vanilla, cracker even, fair herbal earthy hops in the middle present throughout, slight metallic note, med bitterness, dry semi crisp and soft finish, higher spicy hop bitterness with a touch more of a metallic note again

Mouth is med to lighter bod, soft lager, med to lower carb

Overall eh, I feel like this isn't what the original pilsner was like, a bit metallic and bitter spicy finish that doesn't sit well, but the lager side is nice at least

US ‘Pint’ can poured into willi becher. Suspect they get this tanked over from Germany and canned in the US, similar to other beers from this distributor. No born on date. Biscuity aroma, good side lacing and head retention. Light clear color. Clean finish with perfectly balanced hop bite. Silky mouthfeel. Citrus aftertaste. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this beer. Will be purchasing again.

Beautiful in the glass. Amazing head. Lemony, gingery slightly hoppy. Delicate and refined brew. Superb for its style. The true "champagne of beers" right here.
