Clear straw gold, brief white head that vanishes completely after about a minute. Sweet grainy aroma, same on the palate.

Found this in my local Morrisons store, I think the brewery has dropped the ’Ureich’ from the name for the UK market: best before May 2007, drank March 2007. 4.8%, they just call it Eichbaum Premium Pils, sold in 0.5 litre brown bottles at 99 pence each. I had just finished chopping and sawing wood for the ’sit around the Chimnia and be happy we’ve got central heating inside, evening’ my wife has planned. I wanted something to quell my thirst and remembered i had a couple of bottles of this awaiting to be opened. Poured into a Veltins glass (two and a half times), it looked good, a full golden straw blonde in colour, with a smooth white head, the head soon disappeared to leave a thin collar round the glass. Smells of dry straw, but not enough to trouble hay fever sufferers, a slight yeast and hop aroma also, but only if I am being kind. Very refreashing, dry, yet a bit sweet, a good example of a German Pilsner. Most lagers/pilsners have very little aftertaste to me, this is as good as I’ve had, but it might be down to the thirst I had when drinking this beer. I liked this beer, pilsner is not my prefered beer when at home, or when out in the UK, but this was most enjoyable and just what I needed after some manual work. I would have no problems putting this in my supermarket trolley again.
