Beck’s Pilsner
Beer-a-Day #228
Made from the original 1873 recipe, our signature brew has a full-bodied taste, hoppy bouquet, golden color and rich full head. Your tasting notes might say something like “a slightly fruity but crisp firmness – ends with a clean dry finish,” but most people simply say, “Now that’s a Beck’s.”
I am a glutton for punishment. If it’s not an American industrial light lager lately, it’s a European pilsner in a green bottle.
Light gold and clear. White head drops quickly. Smells slightly fruity, just like they promised. Pineapple, perhaps? Taste is clean with a slight toastiness to it. By golly, this is pretty good!
No trackbacks yet.

A world class traditional pilsner, Warsteiner Premium Verum is a slightly pale German-style pilsner with a clean, crisp, refreshing import taste. Warsteiner is brewed with fresh Arnsberger Forest spring water sourced at the brewery in Warstein, Germany, naturally soft water that helps to create the smooth taste and thick creamy head. Warsteiner truly [...]

I approach this beer with no small amount of trepidation. It is a “light” beer. It is a lager from Europe. It is in a clear bottle. If you’ve been following this project you know that any of those three things does not generally bode well for my enjoyment of a beer.
It’s lighter even [...]

Beer-a-Day #307
A very pale beer brewed as a lager and which has a crisp, assertive Czechoslovakian Saaz hop character. This beer took 6 weeks to produce because the strain of yeast we used has a slow and cold fermentation, which results in a very smooth beer. 4.3% alcohol by volume.
This was the first Brewer’s Alley [...]

This is, perhaps, the quintessential Märzen.
Not quite as orange as Americanized versions of the style, clear, with a nice off-white head. Mild aroma with some roastiness. Malty, of course, with caramel and a hint of the hops. Good stuff. Now I’m craving bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Our new canned good is a delicious, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czechoslovakia famous. Mama’s is made with hearty amounts of pale malt, German specialty malts, and traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. It’s the perfect antidote for the watered-down, cornfed versions of pilsner clogging America’s shelves. Our first canned [...]

This light pilsner has the taste signature of a Beck’s, with a calorie count that’s as refreshing as the beer itself. You’ll find a crisp, light experience that lives up to the Beck’s name and reputation in every bottle. It’s taste you can count on, even if you’re not counting calories.
Oh my goodness, what [...]

Don’t let the deep copper color fool you. This isn’t the dark ale you’d expect. This is a special bottom-fermented lager that lives up to Beck’s quality standards. It gets it color from a unique roasting of the barley malt. It refreshes like the true lager beer it is.
And its rich, smooth taste with a [...]

Yellowish-orange with a prodigious white head which dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is light, with a little pineapple and “wheatiness”. Flavor is a little…well, not bland exactly. “Understated” seems like a good word.

Halfway through the year, and I’ve just about exhausted the selection at my favorite retailer. I’ve taken to shopping with a list of things I shouldn’t get.

My wife and I had some friends over this evening. With our two kinds of salsa we had salmon cooked on the grill with lemon, vinegar, and cilantro. A light, Mexican beer seemed an appropriate accompaniment. Pacifico fit the bill nicely.
Pale straw with one finger of white head. Little aroma and very, very light [...]

No skunking, despite the green bottle?
I may have to try this…

One bottle is not a representative sample, of course. Be careful!
