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. 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. Cloudy, golden in color with bits of floaties in it. Aroma is grapefruit with hints of malty grains. Taste is grapefruit up front, grains in the middle and a bready, grapefruit juice 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.

Bottle. Another really great malty beer. I'm happy to see more malt instead of hops

Canned. If you come across a beer these days that isn’t particulary bad, that qualifies as alright. This one is quite alright.

Lane z kija. Lekki, nawet przyjemny aromat. W smaku przyzwoite, nawet goryczka dała radę. Do obiadu może być.

Not really an "extra": nice pale golden color and a White head, but Less alcohol, less bitterness, less tatse.
