2011 Beverage Tasting Guide
Bitburger Premium Beer – A classic Pilsner bier, clear light golden in color with lots of fine carbonation. Clean and a bit dry with a grainy in taste up front, a slight touch of honey and lemon zest, with a bitter-spicy finish from the hops. Brewed according to the German Purity Law, Bitburger is Germany’s most popular draught beer.
Hacker-Pschorr Weisse Dark – Brewed according to old Munich tradition with the finest roasted dark wheat and barley. Pours a cloudy amber/bronze color with a mountainous head that becomes creamier as it settles. Tastes of banana, clove, smoky malt, roasted grains and a touch of light chocolate.
Paulaner Original Munich Lager – A bright, golden beer with a light, clean body, Paulaner is the world’s biggest selling Munich lager. It has a distinctive malt accent as opposed to the hoppier brews of the Pilsner style. This style is often identified as Munchner Helles (‘pale’).
Leininkugel’s Oktoberfest Beer – A Wisconsin brewed favorite, this Märzen style beer is characterized by a medium to full body, a malty flavor and a clean dry finish. Golden amber orange in color, with tastes of sweet bready malts with caramel and toffee, lots of sweet cereal grains and subtle hints of spice.
Miller Lite Beer – Triple Hops Brewed® from the finest malted barley, select cereal grains and choicest hops, Miller Lite delivers superior taste in a less-filling beer. Miller Lite was named Best American-Style Lager or Light Lager at the 2010 Great American Beer Festival.
Jagermeister – From Kenosha’s Sister City of Wolfenbuttel, Germany, Jagermeister is a type of liqueur called Kräuterlikör (herbal liqueur). Its ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots and spices including citrus peel, liquorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, gigner, juniper berries and ginseng. Contrary to an urban legend, Jagermeister does not contain elk or deer blood.
Schlichte Steinhager – The oldest brand of traditional steinhager gin has a very light juniper flavor with hints of butterscotch and carmel. Made in accordance with the German Purity Laws, it contains only triple distilled grain neutral spirits, water, and juniper berries. As in ancient times, Steinhager is bottled in stone crocks to preserve its fine aroma and flavor.
Glühwein – Prepared from red wine, and spiced with cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, cloves, citrus, sugar and rum, Glühwein dates back as far as 500 BC, where spices and herbs were added to wine for their health value as well as an improvement in taste.
