Germany is probably one of the
great countries for good beer, and could possibly be the oldest too. Germans are
the originators of some beers styles, so it is good to go back and try some of
these original German styles. One style
that has origins not in German but in the town of Pilsen Czech Republic where
the style is named after, but then came to Germany where it grew in popularity
and the Germans crafted and brewed their own versions of Pilsner. Now we have
Czech and German Pilsner. Most American Pilsners are decedents of the German
Pilsner. For my birthday I received a rather interesting pint of German
Pilsner, Luther Reformations Bier, 4.9% ABV, brewed by Neunspringe Worbis in
Wobis Germany. Reformations Bier pours a bright golden color with a two-finger bright
thick white head the slowly fades into bright thick whiffs of nice lacing. I
found a great amount of light coming through the glass and a big heard of
carbonation bubbles. The aroma has a nice light cracker and big buttery biscuit
scent about it, and you can feel a light bubble on your nose. Reformations have
a nice crisp buttery taste upfront followed by a slight biscuit and faint
cracker. But as this beer warms a bit of a spice note comes through. It is sort
of a spicy character like an herb. But the entire bottle is in German so I don’t
know what it is. I am guessing it. The spicy herd is less present at cooler temperatures
but still slightly there. The mouthfeel is light to medium and has a nice
crisp but lightly spiced finish, with a nice aftertaste if spiced herbs and a
faint buttery biscuit note. I liked Luther Reformations Bier and would recommend
this to anyone, and if and when you find it please let me know where. I’d say Luther
Reformations Bier Pilsner is a B+. The spiced herbs really add an interesting
touch to a German Pilsner and make for a good Pilsner. So go out and try Luther
Reformations Bier Pilsner and see what you think. Cheers! Please enjoy
responsibly!
Great Beer, best tried while in Lutherstadt Wittenburg, but great anywhere! Had to drink bottle warm, but very smooth. Peace be with Beer!
