First cab off the rank is Oettinger, a genuine, fully imported German Pilsner, chosen to coincide with the start of spring. This is a sweet smelling, clean, crisp, slightly bitter, hoppy beer. In traditional pilsner style, it is light in colour, lots of bubbles and a not too dominant hoppy after taste. This is what i would call a lawnmower beer, great to scoff down after pushing the victa round the yard. Brewed according to german purity laws, ie no preservaties additives etc, it is good for you too!!
Flavour; Tastes like beer (Christine said that, she just doesn't understand the seriousness of this) Citrus, light malt, grassy, hops, sweet, slighly bitter
Carbonation; Lots of bubbles, again, synonymous with pilsner, but poor head retention.
Colour; Pale yellow
Price; Definitely the highlight of this beer is the price. $30 a carton!!!! Unbelievable value, and your bogan mates think they are drinking boutique expensive beer!!
Alcohol; 4.7%
Packaging; Slightly tacky and cheap. Carton is shrink wrapped
Food Pairing: Mussels, cheese patter, Asian, cheesy pizza, basically anything you would eat with a light white wine like Pinot Griggio
Overall rating; 6/10...Pretty good for a budget beer.
haha like your comment about bogan mates thinking they're drinking boutique expensive beer.
