Warsteiner Premium Verum

From the bottle it smells exactly like what I was hoping for: a grassy pilsner.  Poured into a Czech pilsner glass, Premium Verum shows a yellow gold body; transparent.  Very active lacing.  In the nose it is toasted & hoppy.

The taste is unique.  Wet upfront, active in the middle, with a slightly acidic, dry finish.  It washes away so cleanly, leaving behind only a trace of its best characteristics: fresh hops, quality malt tones.  A well-shaped body.  Not too thin, not at all heavy.  Crisp.  So well balanced.  Extremely drinkable, while remaining exceptionally satisfying.
