Description
The name Cramer has been synonymous with Warsteiner since 1753. Today the ninth generation of the clan, Catharina Cramer, carries on a long tradition of brewing excellence, backed by a rich German heritage, a high-quality range and a clear strategy to continue shaping the future of the German and the international beer market.

In 1753, farmer Antonius Cramer was asked to pay beer tax for the first time as his home brewing volumes surpassed by some way the volume allowed for personal consumption. Little did he know that his actions would kick-start a long-standing brewing tradition in Warstein – a small town located in the middle of the beautiful Arnsberg forest, in the heart of Germany’s Sauerland region. Since that date, the business has gone from strength to strength.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek' (online), best before June 2025. Very hazy, luscious orange with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, a little sourish aroma of lots of grapefruit. Fairly sweet, moderately bitter, minimally sourish, very fruity taste of massive grapefruit, blood orange and traces of grains, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly tart finish. Thin to medium, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite crushable like most grapefruit radlers.

Can as Winter, from HoTM. It pours clear copper with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee, brown bread, fruit cake, raisin, sultana, toasted nut, pecan pie and some playdough. The taste is firmly dry, snappy, some bitterness, earthy, woody, brown bread, ryvita, grassy, leafy, toffee, raisin, fruit cake, spice, cacao, burnt toast and a metallic twang with a drying, kinda nutty finish. Average body and fairly high, foamy carbonation. Not bad overall.
