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.

Light gold, clear, with a decent head. Malty, bready aroma, no hoppy notes. Moderately full body, light maltiness, low hop bitterness, good carbonation, and good drinkability. A touch of maltiness on the palate, a clean profile, and light lemon notes. Nothing to complain about.

Barwa złota, klarowne, piana biała, niezbyt obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie słodowe, lekki chleb i karmel.
W smaku słodowe, nieco estrów i czerwonych owoców, nuty chleba.
Goryczka niska do średniej, wysycenie niskie do średniego, ciało w normie.
Nic specjalnego.

500ml can. Pours a clear mahogany with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of roasted malt, earth, dark chocolate and nuts. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate and date in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Malt forward and easy to drink.
