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
Orange soda aroma. Orange color and head. Pale lager with orange soda, sweet, artificial oranges with a very light hop bitterness finish. Pointless - why did I rate this again? Oh right it was free....

The german equivalent to "Bud" ! Very watery, unpleasant "chemical" smell and nearly no traces of good - and expensive (!) - aromatic hops. What’s the difference between a "Warsteiner" and sex on the beach ? There’s no difference; both is f...... near to water.......

Why isn’t this available in Croatia ? I certainly don’t know. It’s a good pils. Brought by a friend from Germany. Pours a yellow-going-gold, with a nice and firm looking head. The aroma is malty and a bit lemonic. The taste is quite similar, fruity and malty for the most part. Also, its well hopped. Could use a bit more body, but it’s ok. Seems to be good when fresh, and this sample was. Still, nothing groundbreaking.

Bottled. Pale yellow, small white head. Aroma is maizy and ricy, with hints of hops. Taste is mainly maizy and hoppy. Dries your mouth. Big wellknown brew but poor beer in my opinion.

Beautiful dark copper brown with medium off-white head. Lightly metallic, malty and smokey nose. Malty, quite thin with some hops shown in the finish. Lacks dunkel character, more like dark lager. 4/4/4/2/9 2.3

A golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is very hoppy with hints of metal. The flavor is boring sour malty. Plain boring.

Bottle - Sour malt aroma. Light yellow color with small collapsing head. Taste is much better - full flavored malt with nice mouthfeel and slight bitter finish. I was going to make a smart ass comment about Warsteiner being the German word for Bud but it’s much better than that. It’s really a pretty good beer - only the aroma is a bit off.

Artificial lemon aroma. Pale straw, creamy head. Lemonade owerpowers beer completely. Lightbodied, refreshing, but I fail to see the point of introducing a drink like this.

With a lot of effort I can smell a bit grain and the tiniest hint hops. Looks like dishwater: Yellowish, no carbonation, foamy head is gone instantly. I detect no flavor whatsoever- cardboard dipped in water. Watery body, fizzy. A new candidate for this list?
