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.
