Staying with the former East, here's a little pils from Privatbrauerei Gessner, their Gessner Premium Pils, brewed, according to the label, after the Thuringian style. With a faintly bready aroma, backed with a grassy and mildly spicy hop note, this pils has a soft and fullish feel. It has a strong malt backbone, leaning towards sweet, with a grassy and slightly citric hop character that lingers a short while. The sweetness sticks to the lips a bit. There's certainly more to it than the two pilsners from Feldschlößchen, but I expect it would get a tad too sweet after a skinfull. Not very pilsner-like really. I do like the label though. I'm easily pleased.Happy birthday to my son, who is four today!

So is this one of the better gassy lagers that torment you?
Ya know, I'm pretty open to anything, and I would never use the term "lager drinker", 'cause I know there are so many wonderful lagerbiers out there. But I'm getting lost in blandness the past week or so.
The antidote was a couple of schwarzbiers, but more of that later...
Is there a way to find the markets that sell Gessner beer? I'd like to try some. Have you tried them all?
Hi,
No, I haven't tried them all, and in fact I was lucky that my "brother-in-law" gave me this in a selection of eastern beers. It might be possible to ask the brewery. They could at least tell which major drink stores might stock them. I'll have a look next time I'm in Trink Gut.
