Is it early for Oktoberfest?

Hi all! welcome back to another edition of Younge's Beer Review. First of all, I want to say sorry for missing last week. Secondly, and likely to explain why, I am currently between paychecks, so I will be going ahead with my pissbeer lesser-quality beverage reviews, starting next week. However, for now I have a nice German Lager up for this week. Warsteiner, the flagship brew of the Warstein Brewery in, wait for it, Warstein, Germany is a crisp and refreshing little number. Very light, even by most of the German beers I have tried, it nonetheless has it's surprises. First off, the pour, which results in a quickly-fading, frothy head. The smell of it reminds me of sourdough bread, appropriate because it seems to go quite well with meats, maybe a little cheese.

The taste matches the smell for the most part, deliciously doughy, with only the mildest of bitter flavors coming out in the finish. Again, like most of the German Lagers I have had, Warsteiner is lightly carbonated, making for an easy drinking meal-beverage. Really not filling at all, but just tasty enough to keep me interested. While there's nothing particularly creative about it, the beer takes a rather standard (but quality) formula, and does it justice. And at the end of the day, it's the taste that matters.

Final Score: 7/10

Happy Drinking, and see you all next week!
