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.

Bought as part of a 15 mixed pack.
It pours mostly clear pale gold with a good head of foam and lacing.
The smell is malty, grain and some notes of honey and bread.
The taste is bread, semi sweet malt, hints of honey, kind of a weird mix of flavours but it works.
Good mouthfeel, good beer.

Appearance, aromas and flavors don't remind me of any traditional zwickle that I've had in the past. Aromas are a bit of caramel, cereal and a hint of toast. Flavors are similar to nose except for there's also something off like spoiled food or something.

Bought locally, part of the mixed variety pack, best by August 2nd 2024.
It pours a clear deep amber/brown with a rather large head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer, good lacing.
The smell is roasty with chocolate, hints of coffee, grain, just smells really malty with minimal bitterness.
The taste is roasty, dark chocolate, grain, an ample amount of bitterness that doesn't overwhelm the other flavours.
Good medium body.
Lots of flavour packed in this 4.8%abv brew!

Servida en copa pilsen, color rubio claro, limpia y cristalina, corona de espuma blanca de buena retención. Aroma más que tenue a grano y cereal (otra que en nariz me recuerda a la Stela Artois). En boca es ligera, pero con cierto cuerpo. De trago largo, muy refrescante, dulzor medio y amargor débil, notas de malta, pan y cereal en grano. Para beberse varias facilmente y pillar una buena 'alkoholraushctrunkenheit'

Clear pale blond colour with lasting head. Aroma starts with slightly sweaty noble hops then sweetens up a bit with brewery malt smell. Primarily a sweet malty taste. Better than most Alcohol Free Pilseners.
