Karmeliten Kloster Gold

Style: helles
Tested: Bottle, early 2015
Brewed: Karmeliten Brauerei Karl Stum, Germany

Problem with beer testing is that I have tried a lot of beer, that simply is average. Not good, not bad just average. I have always postponed to write about this beers, but this is the week (or two), where I will try to get rid of them. Karmeliten Kloster Gold is just average, nothing special. NOTHING.

IRLBACHER PREMIUM

Style: helles

Tested: Bottle, 2015

Brewed: Schlossbrauerei Irlbach, Germany

Probably, if I would be born around this brewery, this would be the beer I would drink and love. Since I am not - Irlbacher Premium is just another boring, lame product of German Brew Law. Its not bad beer, its not good either. Boring.

Viru

Style: Pils
Tested: bottle, spring 2015
Brewed: A. le Coq Brewery, Estland

Viru is the firs beer from Estland I have ever tried. That is a plus. It is also a well made commercial beer, pils-style, that can easily stand a comparison with any German commercial Pils. On contrary - this means that Viru is also boring like hell and I don´t really see any reason to buy it again.

Alsfelder Landbrauerei Bock

Style: Bock
Tested: Bottle, early 2015
Brewed: Alsfelder Landbrauerei

My new favorite Bock from Germany. Strong, aromatic, tasty - one of the best bocks Germany gave us. And its eve better - you can get it in Bio Markts and Rewe. Go for it.
