18th Jan 2014 and I find myself in the Saxony-Anhalt presentation area of Berlin’s International Green Week. I spied a bar from Landsberg and venture over, Pilsner and this beer available on tap: I order one of each and find a resting place. My 0.3 Litre came looking a very dark brown with a red hue in the light, on top a flowing tanned crown that stayed around for a while. The nose was malty, lightly roasted malts in fact giving off toffee and caramel esters. The beer wasn’t as sweet as the aroma suggested, the malty molasses being kept in check by the hop bitterness that came mid-sip and stayed to give a good dry finish. Like so many beers of this type, I found the body a little thin, it’s a style thing of course, but I just wish the brewers would give the beers more depth and strength of flavour. This is fine though and one of the better German black Pilsners / Lagers I’ve had.

18th Jan 2014 and I find myself in the Saxony-Anhalt presentation area of Berlin’s International Green Week. I spied a bar from Landsberg and venture over, Pilsner and a Swartz beer available on tap: I order one of each and find a resting place. My 0.3 Litre Premium Pilsner came a golden bodied, clear and clean, bright beer with a fast fading snowy white crown. The aroma was also typical of German Pilsners, there was very little of anything in the nose. Gets my usual 3 score for a non smelling Pilsner / lager. The taste leaned towards a maltiness but the hops stopped any sweetness from taking over the flavouring: this a dry, refreshing beer with a bitter finish: very little actual taste. Nothing wrong with this beer, it just seemed a normal, bog standard, ordinary sort of brew with no features to pick up on, good or bad.
