Description
It all started with eight visionary men who founded the “Vereinsbrauerei Berliner Gastwirte zu Berlin AG” on February 1st, 1872 in Rixdorf. They established a modern brewery within one year, which was opened on July 19, 1873. The first public serving takes place on this day. In 1890 the brewery decides, as one of the first breweries in Germany, to brew a Pilsen beer. It is called - based on its southern German relatives - "Berliner Kindl". In 1910 the brewery is renamed "Berliner Kindl Brauerei AG". In 2006 Berliner Kindl returns to its former location in the east of Berlin. The entire range is now brewed in the Berliner Kindl Schultheiss brewery in Lichtenberg.

tap (from the Generator hostel in Berlin if I remember right) - Pours dark amber with a medium sized head. It smells like lightly roasted malt with maybe a hint of dark fruit. The flavor leads with roast malts and finishes with some light to medium hoppiness. It’s kind of watery and ends up just being an ok session brew.

tap - Pours clear gold with a two finger white head. It has a light, hoppy aroma. The flavor is a good balance of pale malt and hops. It’s easy going and while it’s nothing outstanding, it’s a nice, light session brew with a pleasantly bitter finish.

tap - Pours yellow and bubbly with a thin white head. It has a very mild, grainy aroma. The flavor is sweet and weak with the pale malts joined by just a little hops. It’s easy to drink and inoffensive, but unlikely to impress.

Huge white slightly coarse head. Pale hazy opaque body. Light thin acidic mealy aroma with lemony barnyard notes. Thin acidic lemony taste with mealy, soft metallic notes. Thin-bodied. Sour lemony aftertaste lingers. Not really very good. It lacks the spicy complexity of gose, and is overall a bit boring, for all that it may be unique in the world. (0.3l draft at Take Off bar, Tegel airport.)

Bottle at Berlin Zoo. Clear, a bit pale golden beer with a white head. Grainy aroma with hops as well. Grainy and fruity flavor with a distinct bitterness. Bitter finish as well. Medium body. A bit anonymous, but with a nice bitterness, and it got the job done, it was a hot day and I was thirsty. (070805)

Bottled. An amber beer with an OK light orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity combined with notes of caramel. The flavor has a somewhat dusty hoppy note on a sweet malty and fruity back ground, leading to a dry bitter and slightly alcoholic finish.

On tap at Berliner Bierfestival. A clear, golden pils with a small, white head. Weak, malty and grainy nose with a little grassyness. The flavor has some bitterness, else it is like the aroma. Medium body. A boring beer, but at least it’s not bad. (070804)
