Pours clear blonde. Small white head, medium to medium low stability. Scent is typical pilsner, crisp maltyness, refined noble hops. rather expressive lager yeast profile. Taste is medium intense. Crisp maltyness (white bread), refined noble hops, fairly bitter and dry, medium high carbonation over a medium thin body. Easy drinkable. Not really getting any off flavors or something out of style, so I do think it deserves a higher score than it currently has. Not an amazing pilsner though, just... Decent to good?

Most of the German beer that is sold everywhere in Germany is nothing special and Holsten is the liquid proof of that. The guys at the marketing department are doing a tremendous job because the beer is just pretty average.oily texture. high carbonation, pale yellow color and overwhelmingly boring bitterness.

RB score 2.39

Canned. Pours clear golden with no head. Pretty characterless pilsner: thin, watery and light. Huge meh.

Etwas muffige Hopfenaromatik, deutliche Bittere, leicht süßlich und dezent würzig, schlanker Körper. Insgesamt ein unterdurchschnittliches Pils.

Noch ein Industriebier, das mir bisher entgangen ist: Holsten Pilsener, Flasche von Edeka, Berlin. - Goldgelb, blank, handelsüblicher Schaum. - In der Nase leichte, limonadenartige zitronige Hopfung, zart süß und ein wenig künstlich bzw. streng. - Antrunk schlank bis dünn und eigenartig süßsauer zitronig, leicht plastikartig, metallisch. Zartes teigiges Malz, gefolgt von derber, stumpfer Bittere. Schlank, trocken und mit stumpfer, blecherner Herbe klingt es aus. - Die Angabe Premium auf dem Etikett ist fast immer eine Gewähr für unterdurchschnittliche Bierqualität, und das Holsten macht da keine Ausnahme. Gut gekühlt mag es zur Not noch trinkbar sein, aber Genuß geht anders. (9.4.2024.)

Pours pale yellow with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma of flat malt. Taste has some mild acerbic notes, some mild sweetness, otherwise grainy and yeasty. Palate has more lingering grain notes on the nose.
