OMG! How did it taste?

When I lived in Germany I had a co-worker (American) who was so tight with his money that he bought a 2 cases of this. When he was standing in line the Germans were looking at him oddly. The guy behind him said Germans don't even drink Oettinger. They called it NOT-inger.

Fact: The deposit on the case and bottles was more than the cost of the beer.

Shortly after his arrival in Germany I took him to a gasthaus for lunch and turned him on to a Hefe Weizen. To my surprise he picked it up and downed the entire glass in 1 chug.

I said: Did you even taste it? His reply: Yeah. It's OK, but it has nothing on Milwaukee's Best.

All I could do was shake my head.

Its not the worlds finest Pilsner, thats for sure, but far from the worst.
Ticks most of the boxes, Slightly sweet with a nice grainy malt hit finishing with a bitterness and the end for balance. Its probably the slightly metallic bite to the bitterness that lets it down overall.
Pretty cheap here too, so its a decent session beer on a hot day.
Lol, this friend of yours must have liked the Hefe to some extent, At least he tried it, some of my mates who only drink mass produced wont look at anything else.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. Even in Germany (of all places) he drank American beer whenever possible...but he never turned down any beer. I never got past his logic.

My first tour in Germany was in 1975. I acquired a love for Hefe Weizen and lagers, but not a German Pils.

When I was stationed there in 1999, a co-worker's landlord was a salesman for Warsteiner and my neighbor was a salesman for Hasseroder.

The both gave me free samples...by the case. I never acquired a taste for either of them.

I’m loving my new mug thanks to @TheDudeLebowski! Thanks @jimyson for the coffee. I roasted some on Saturday and brewed a pot this morning. I need to roast the Banko beans from @Inkleg, but I’m only going to use those beans with my Hario V60 pour over.

I'm not an IPA lover but I can drink this one. The only other IPAs I like are Pliney the elder by Russian River and Dankosaurus by Cedar Creek Brewery.

Mosaic Promise after a good brew day. Knocked out an IPA on left. American Stout will be ready to keg this weekend.

Ballast Point Tongue Buckler Imperial Red Ale. Well done, although this is not the type of beer that I tend to consume. Full of everything but lacking in finesse and focus.

Augsburg in the 70s as a soldier and Bamberg (1999-2004) as a civilian.

Our boss was in Mannheim. More than a few times he would call us in for a visit or such and he had to pay for our overnight stay at a hotel.
