Bottle 0,5ltr: Clear golden colored brew with an dry biiter taste with an little sweetness. Hints of some hoppiness, could be better.

Bought in Gronau. I have good memories attached to this beer. I’ve visited the now closed Ritter Brauerei for trade meetings in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The barman tapped Ritter pils for a Deutschmark and you got the glass for free. But after 1 or 2 I had enough (didn’t like the beer too much) and asked Czech visitors who’d brought their local beers to trade a bottle for an in those days very welcome Deutschmark. My only chance to taste Czech beers in those days. Have the Ritter beers become better in taste? Not really. A somewhat flowery aroma. A bit harsh bitter, metallic flavor. Not a fresh hoppy bitterness, but oilier with hints of butter. Long metallic bitter aftertaste. Again: disappointing.
