The famous German Pilsener, Warsteiner, comes from one of the biggest breweries in the country. It is a Pilsener with a smooth, full bodied taste and a refreshing finish with no aftertaste. It has a clear golden color and the original smell of Pilsener beer.

It features forest spring water, two-row malted summer barley and all German hops and it is Pilsener style brewed according to the German Purity Law from 1516. It has 4.8% ABV, no chemicals, additives or preservatives and it tastes best when chilled down to a temperature between 45 and 50 degrees.

Now, those of you who have a weak bladder, don't drink it, for Warsteiner beer will send you to the toilet many, many times. It tastes good and refreshing, but it makes sure that you won't leave the bathroom for long. That's why it's colloquially known as 'water beer' over here.

It looks like beer, tastes like beer, smells like beer, but it has this unwelcome side-effect. The best advice one beer drinker can give another: don’t break the seal too early, for you will regret it for the rest of the evening. That’s our Warsteiner Premium Pils. Sold all over the world.

I'm going to share with you my favorite beer of the moment. Warsteiner Premium Verum.

Warsteiner is a fine, rich, robust beer. It's brewed in Warstein, Germany in the largest privately-owned brewery in the country.

Some of the more notable chracteristics of Warsteiner: it features forest spring water, two-row malted summer barley and all German hops; it's a Pilsner style, brewed according to German Purity Law of 1516. It has 4.8% abv and includes no chemicals, additives or preservatives.

But I think my favorite characteristic of Warsteiner PV is the distinct lack of aftertaste, making it a pleasing brew for any occasion.

Warsteiner is responsible for gracing the world with four beers already and two still in the hopper. Currently the lineup is:

1. Premium Verum
2. Premium Dunkel
3. Premium Fresh
4. Konig Ludwig Weiss

Five and six are coming soon and they are Warsteiner Limited Club Edition and Warsteiner Premium Lemon. For now, check out the PV and see if you like it as much as I do!
