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.

Pour is a cloudy amber with a large white head. Aroma is honey malt with a big caramel. Flavor is more caramel malt, not as sweet as I thought it was going to be but also after the caramel there is not much there. Finish is prickly bitter. OK but nothing to get the mix pack just for this.

500ml can from Mirage Wine & Liquor (Palm Springs). Drank by the pool at our Air B&B on 15th April 2025. Really enjoyed this, poured clean and clear gold colour, white crown on top. Malty front with a pleasant hop presence that gave a nice balance; although this like most in the style is fairly sweet in nature rather than bitter.

Bottle. Have had much better dunkels. Taste was roasted but too watery, Aroma was just slightly too skunky. Nice brown color, some head. Just middle of the road.

Bottle. Clear, gold with a medium to small head. Aroma was kind of skunky, which surprised me out of a brown bottle. Taste was the usual German pilsner, with grains, straw, hay and a bitter finish.

Can at the hotel from an AH before the CP gig. Way too much toast and caramel malts, lacking in drinkability and overly sweet. Ok for a supermarket beer, but far from good.
