Smell: A beautiful bouquet of grassy floral hops, a slight graininess to the beer. The bitterness is slightly metallic but not in an unpleasant way. Lightly toasted malts and a hint of bread. Budweiser Budvar is a great beer because it has great raw materials and great brewers. They produce it in a slow and painstaking way. Its integrity is best served by its being produced in its town of origin, in a region with pride in its beer. [14] a b c "Wem gehört das deutsche Bier?".

The malt quality comes through right away, as with many pilsner-type lagers, and it is combined with a little bitterness from the whole cone Saaz hops. The pour is wonderfully golden, and it's perfectly carbonated to be refreshing without being overpowering. King, Jeremy (2005).

Brewed with Hallertau hops and the region’s famed Felsquellwasser spring water, Krombacher has a soft, smooth mouthfeel and an enjoyable mineral quality to its flavour. Less floral and sweet than its Czech counterparts, this pilsner is front-loaded with strong, bready malt flavours and leaves a lingering, pleasant bitterness. At 4.8%, Krombacher is stronger than most pilsners, perfect for anyone looking for a smooth-drinking beer that is robust in both its flavour and its ABV.

History [ edit ] Budweiser Budvar's headquarters and brewery in the Kněžské Dvory suburb of České Budějovice, pictured in 2011 1265–1895 [ edit ]Known as "The King of Beers," Budweiser was first introduced by Adolphus Busch in 1876 and it's still brewed with the same high standards today. Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp American-style lager. Brewed with the best barley malt and a blend of premium hop varieties, it is an icon of core American values like optimism and celebration. Consequently Budweiser Budvar beer is imported as "Czechvar" in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Philippines and the United States [18] [19] and Anheuser-Busch sells its beer as "Bud" in most of the European Union.
