Review: Bottle of Feldschlösschen Original Pale Lager, 4.80%ABV

One doesn’t generally associate beer with the Swiss, chocolate and cooking clocks yes, but good beer? Feldschlösschen is a beer that can take on the big guns of Germany, Britain and the rest in Europe and hold its head up high. It’s a bloody good beer, with a nice taste and easy to drink.

Loved the appearance of a pure clear yellow colour, bright and clean with a good big frothy head on top that stays with some lacing. Looks refreshing and tantalisingly good, saying “drink me, please!”. Yeah that’s a cheesy line, Swiss style! A decent beer though.

The aroma is light and malty, on the grainy side but with a little sweetness.

Taste: What a light lager should be like; a nice crisp and smooth refreshing drink. Grain dominates the taste with very little bitterness. Not complex, well balanced, and very easy to drink. Could drink these all day long, perfect for a light session with friends.

Review: Can of Feldschlösschen Stark Strong Pale Lager 7%ABV

Can comes in a very shiny greyish colour that also highlights that this lager is 7% ABV. in case you were in any doubt.

Pours a clear dark golden colour with a fair white head that settles quick, no real lacing shown.

A faint aroma of malt, bread, and mild sweetness.

The taste is the strong point of this beer. Very sweet, very smooth, very drinkable at 7% it is a strong lager and tastes like it too. The flavour is malt, bread and a mild hoppy bitterness which lingers well. This is a beer that is good for a session. Strong, goes down well and does the job.

Birra Moretti is a 4.6% abv pale beer produced using a traditional process that has remained almost unchanged since 1859. It is a low fermented beer that has a golden colour, the tone of which is given by the quality of malt used.

Review: Bottle of Birra Moretti European Pale Lager, 4.60% ABV

A respectable European pale lager that comes in a lovely looking bottle. The “Moretti” logo, of a traditional Italian countryman about to enjoy a big frothing glass of beer, stands out indicating that this beer is stylish and eager to be enjoyed.

Appearance is a pale, straw yellow colour that when poured produces a nice thick white head with good retention and with decent lacing. A fine-looking clear lager.

Birra Moretti

The aroma has a rustic smell of lightly toasted barley, and some grassy hops, which gave a very pleasant and balanced smell.

The taste was crisp and clean. having a light honey and mild malt flavour with a fair hop bitter aftertaste at the end. This beer is easy to drink, a balanced and smooth taste that goes down well.

Moretti is a good lager that goes especially well with Italian food (naturally!).

The beer itself is a light straw-coloured, lager beer with an alcohol content of 4.7%.

Review: Can of Mythos pale lager 4.7% ABV

Another surprise, never thought I would be loving a Greek beer, but this is a good, smooth and refreshingly tasty beer.

The appearance is good, and I am getting a nice clear pale yellow beer with a good head developing, but it does dissipate quickly, found good lacing though.

No clear smell was found, maybe slightly sweet and a small hint of cooked corn and grassy hops.

Taste was of sweet malts, no bitterness, was fairly smooth to drink, and a teeny bit strong too. I liked it. Recommended.
