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.

From Good Times Oakland, best before 2026 05 08
so pretty darn fresh.

It pours a clear gold, lots of bubble action, good head of foam, very good retention and lacing.

The smell is big on grain, on the sweet side, wee bit of hop bitterness, is the sweet partly due to honey? Why bother with that?

Same goes for the taste. Nothing different from the smell.

Good mouthfeel, I would not bother drinking this again.

Buying this beer at one Gasoil shop, next to the Daimler Platz, going back at Esslingen, drinking it at night after a nice afternoon in the spa Bad Cannstadt. As usual, a good pils and pleasant one with this hot and pleasant weather, dry and smooth, hop.
