Brews and Blues Beer and Smokin’ Blues

Spaten Premium

I pulled another sampling from the assorted eight-pack from around the world that I received as a gift a while back.  Spaten Premium is my drink this evening from Spaten of Munich, Germany.  This beer poured with a nice golden color and a decent head, but the head died rather quickly and was unimpressive overall.  There is not a lot of aroma, but the flavor is rather crisp and a little on the malty side with an average balanced presence of hops.  In the long run, I'm not a fan of this beer.  I can't find anything special about it that would make me want to have it again.  If you look at the gold band around the top of the label on the neck, you will see that this beer might fall into a category that I have spoken of in previous blog posts here :)  I really do believe that the IMPORTED label on a beer bottle is designed to sell beer to those upper-crust beer enthusiasts here in the United States. 

I put another German beer in the fridge for my next sampling that should be pretty decent.... we'll see...
