Name: Spaten Premium Lager
Brewer: Spaten-Franziskaner Bräu (Munich, Germany)
Classification: Munich Helles Lager
Alcohol: 5.2%
Thoughts: This is the first of the German beers that are featured at Oktoberfest in Munich. I have already had two on this blog, Augustinerbrau and Bitburger. They are on the opposite ends of the spectrum, so let's see where Spaten's traditional Premium Lager falls into place. This brew pours a clear standard gold color with a highly carbonated, foamy head. The taste is bland as well, but not because it is a poor beer. The carbonation and citrus wash over the tongue to create a crisp sensation. The aftertaste is dry with a little bit of bready malts. This beer is not bad like Bitburger but not great like Augustinerbrau, it is right in the middle of the beer spectrum.
Rating: 75/100
