About
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.

Bottle: clear golden coloured, thin, lasting fluffy white head; cardboard, vegetables in the nose; watery taste with some traces of citrus; a bit sticky; watery finish with a tinge of citrus and grains. Wow, what a beer ! These clever wizards at the Warsteiner Works mix hectolitres of the finest tap water with five, six or even eight grains of malted barley and -pow- create a "Premium Bier", according to the rules of the german "purity law", that’s understood !....and all the beautiful trendies have the illusion, as if they drank a beer! Great!

A light yellow "beer" with no head. The aroma is sweet - artificially and very lemony, while the flavor also is very lemony again somewhat artificial with a slight touch of malt, and a dry end. I wonder if artificially sweeteners has been used.

Pilsener from Warsteiner

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Biggish white coarse head, clear, pale yellow body. Aroma is relatively faint (on an airplane, at least), mostly pilsner hops. Very clean and smooth mouthfeel with little taste; aftertaste is a lovely rounded bitterness, with strong hop notes. Very bitter for a pilsener. For a pilsener this is not bad at all, but perhaps a bit too much metal in the aftertaste. (0.33l bottle.)

Pour is a piss yellow with a white head. Aroma is a very sickly smelling graininess. Flavor is a syrup laced with malt. Kinda thick on the swallow. Not very good. The Bud of Germany.

(Bottle 33 cl) Low alcohols sometimes surprise in a positive way, but most often they’re just plain awful. This one belongs in the latter category. Very pale golden with a white head. Flavours of sulphur and cardboard - not exactly what I like in beer. Things get a wee bit better as it warms, but not much. Always have another beer close by to cleanse your mouth, if you try the Warsteiner NA. 160800

Premium Cola from Warsteiner

Bottled. Cola beer all the way through, feels very "faked" and artificial in the coke flavour. One of the poorest ones in the lemonade category so far.

Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with minor white head. Sweaty socks alongwith cooked vegetables in aroma. Extremely unpleasant artificial sweet flavour (sweaty socks?) with some grassy and dishwaterish hints. Unpleasant.

Unlisted to my knowledge at BCL, I found this at the Poco store where it was the only one of its kind. I was buying oldies for re-rates but couldn’t pass up a new beer that wasn’t a malt liquor. In retrospect, I probably should have scooped the O’Keefe Extra Old Stock as this proved a failure in all respects. You’d think that on a hot summer’s day after hiking to the top of a mountain this would hit the spot, but it’s far too sweet and artificial for that. Moreover, it has a distinct lack of beer character - more like lemon and ginger ale, with an unhealthy dose of citric acid added to the mix as an afterthought. Gak! Stick to Russell Lemon, if you insist on such things. Me? I’ve got a Schneider Weisse in the fridge.
