German beers brewers are pretty
straightforward about the styles of beer that they brew. They tend not to stray
far from the true version of a particular style of beer. This one Lammsbräu
Organic Winter Spezial Premium Bavarian Lager, 5.1% ABV, is true to that statement.
The style is known as a winter lager. Winter lagers are slightly more malty and
rich than are normal lagers would be. Lammsbräu Organic Winter Spezial Premium
Bavarian Lager pours an amber color with a three finger white head that slowly dissipates into nice wispy lacing around the glass. I saw nice amounts of light
coming through and nice carbonation bubbles as well. The aroma is a bit sweeter
than a regular lager would tend to be, and there is a faint earthy tone as
well. You do get a faint biscuit/breaded
scent. The taste is a bit malty, but not overly malty and you do get a little
sweetness that isn’t there to long, but just long enough to enjoy. The
sweetness is reminiscent of light semi-sweet chocolate. The taste is also earthy with a grassy like
taste, but not in the way an IPA would be. It is more of a lager grain type of flavor then an earthy flavor. The mouth feel is medium and the finish is nice smooth with a
touch of malty sweetness. The aftertaste is slightly sweet with hints of
earthy, grainy biscuit flavor. This Lammsbräu Organic Winter Spezial Premium
Bavarian Lager goes well for a winter day like yesterday or today, not such an
easy drinker, but close. Lammsbräu Organic Winter Spezial Premium Bavarian
Lager is good, so it gets an A. German beers are always high up on my list, and
even ones that I have not had before. Germans are masters and brewing beer and
consistently brew great beer and this one was no exception, it was a good
winter beer. So go out and pick up Lammsbräu Organic Winter Spezial Premium
Bavarian Lager, and see what you think of it. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
