Not bad, just not good. 906 charactersRoyalT, Jan 16, 20043/5 rDev -19.8%t2grogan, Oct 06, 20144.34/5 rDev +16%look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5This a pale, clear, golden color with a thin, bright white head. The aroma is beautiful, a soft cloud of muted hop and sweet grain, unadulterated by any sulfer notes. The main word to describe this beer is SOFT. Everything is so subtle and balanced. The flavor is light, sweet, a little bready with touches of alcohol, metal, and sulfer, which all have their place and are balanced in their own way. Totally clean aftertaste, though the finish is unabrupt. Not perfect, but a pretty dreamy pilsner. 498 charactersJudgeRoughneck, Mar 10, 20062.5/5 rDev -33.2%Tiernan, Aug 22, 20123.75/5 rDev +0.3%mediumrare, Sep 08, 20143.65/5 rDev -2.4%look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4Presentation: 12oz Euro style brown bottle with a freshness date stamped on the lower right hand corner of the label.
Notes: Tasty little pils here, well place flavours and relatively delicate other than the husk character. A clean and fresh example to the euro pilsner style and great for someone that wants to jump ship from the big macro lager freighter. 1,454 charactersJason, Oct 18, 20013.32/5 rDev -11.2%look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is basic pilsener with a lot of pilsener malt. The flavor is more of the same, with some malt and grain notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very basic. 273 charactersMora2000, Sep 07, 20103/5 rDev -19.8%look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3olradetbalder, Apr 07, 20154.38/5 rDev +17.1%look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5Poured on a pilsner glass. Appearance - light golden with a nice one inch dense head that dissipated very slowly. Smell - the smell is very subtle but everything is there: the malt, some yeast, noble hops and a very tiny hint of dried herbs. Taste - again very subtle yet complex in its own way. So well balanced that I cannot identyfy any other flavor than that of a good and tasty pilsner. Mouthfeel - right on the spot. Light body without taking away flavor and the right amount of carbonation to make it a refreshing and enjoyable beer. Overall - Paulaner has surprised me with their craftmanship on their brews. This beer ain't the exception. There may be better pilsners out there but Paulaner's Premium Pils is among the best in my humble opinion and it is also by the book on how the style should be. 818 characterspuertobrewing, Oct 10, 20113.58/5 rDev -4.3%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5Very light and dry overall. Light noble hop aroma. Taste is of dry apple, straw, hay and pepper. More spicy than bitter. Well executed Pilsner but not a ton going on. 166 charactersbsp77, Oct 01, 20163.5/5 rDev -6.4%innominat, Jun 13, 20143.5/5 rDev -6.4%wattoclone, Sep 12, 20124.25/5 rDev +13.6%look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25Rich, bready aromas with a little earthy, herbal hops, pours brilliant straw to gold crowned by a 1” fluffy white head that leaves thick sheets of lace, very rich malt flavors, bread, light malt but not really sweet, malt flavors linger with a long bitter accent. A true classic. 281 characterspat61, Jul 20, 20153.5/5 rDev -6.4%Mantooth, Sep 11, 20133.68/5 rDev -1.6%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4.5Appearance: Crystal clear golden straw color with a nice bubbly white head lies nice and thick with great retention, lacing forms nice rings with each sip. Aroma: Light grassy with a slight hint of lemon tone to it, great herbal European hop aroma very nice German pils. Taste: More of the lemongrass sweetness finishes dry with a nice bitterness date says 12-03 but this tastes very fresh to me with no off flavors at all very clean finish excellent refreshing pils. Mouthfeel: Strong carbonatin lighter bodied lager excellent summer sipper nothing spectacular but solid to the style. Drinkability: Once again awesome refreshing, crisp, and somewhat flavorful compared the "true pilsner" by Miller. 699 charactersWVbeergeek, Jan 16, 20043.36/5 rDev -10.2%look: 4.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25On tap. 4.9% ABV
Malt dominated aroma and more balanced but lightly hop dominated flavor. 202 characterschinchill, Aug 22, 20153/5 rDev -19.8%valkyre65, Dec 08, 20114/5 rDev +7%Miha, Jun 02, 20134.25/5 rDev +13.6%j_hollings13, Jun 19, 20143.91/5 rDev +4.5%look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4lambpasty, Feb 11, 20153.5/5 rDev -6.4%LXIXME, Jan 08, 20143.91/5 rDev +4.5%look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4German beer is an engineering masterpiece. Premium Pils is no exception. The beer is golden blonde, crystal clear and has firm bubbles rocketing up through my pilsner glass. The head is a glorious three fingers of white pillowy goodness. It fades but never completely and has some thin lacing.
Easily drinkable with a great mix of hoppy bitterness and sizzle from carbonation. It seems that I can't get enough of this beer because of it's satisfying nature. Then again I did just mow the lawn in 100° heat and maybe I was looking for a cool refreshing drink. Either way I'm going to have some more and go to bed early. 1,041 charactersjbphoto88, Aug 20, 20093.7/5 rDev -1.1%look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5Beautiful golden colored beer! This Paulaner was brewed in June of 2007. I read this before the first sip and was somewhat worried it would be skunky. Thankfully it tasted rather fresh. Here's to darker bottles!
This stlye of beer fits well into my lifestyle with it's character and ability to go with dinner or as a simple refreshing easy drinking lawnmower beer! I will recommend this to a few of my buddies who enjoy this style! 877 charactersCamuMahubah, Jan 19, 20084.08/5 rDev +9.1%look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 5poured from the bottle into a traditional beer mug
cavat- I have discribed this beer as missing something yet still have it rated well. How does this work? German Pilser is my favorite style of beer so while I may find it lacking compared to the spaten, it was still one of the better offerings out there. 1,057 charactersmcarroll10177, Jul 22, 2006
