Original No. 1 - Museumsbier from Schussenrieder Erlebnisbrauerei. I saw this a few times in my local drink markt and was intrigued, so of course bought some. Apparently based on a recipe from 1183. You never know.
This had a rather unappealing appearance. I like unfiltered beers, but this looked a little unnatural. More like dirty lemon wash water. In fact it tasted a little watery too. It's a fairly malty beer, in the most basic sense, but to my mind there wasn't much else to it, although a slight bitterness managed to drag itself onto the tongue near the end, but not enough to warrent interest.
This should have been left in 1183. Meh...

Should have left it there...

Wow...that's disappointing and clearly a let-down. What led you to buy the beer? Hope it didn't run you too much!
Beer is so cheap here I could buy a crate of crap and it wouldn't bother me. Well, it would, but at something like 70c (euro cent, so 92c US) for a half litre bottle, I won't cry about the crap ones. What led me to buy it? I never had it before, and it looked interesting :) I'll try anything once. Maybe even twice! :D
92 cents? I'm moving! The imported bottles I buy are anywhere from $3 - $25 depending on how rare they are. Most that I buy are $6-$12.
That's Germany for you. People tend to buy by the crate. Of course imported beers are generally more expensive, and a bottle of English ale might set you back €5 in a bar. I bought a 750cl bottle of Chimay Grande Reserve a few weeks ago for €7.50 (c. $10), but it's a big bottle and 9% or something, so also ok. It's actually hard to get non-German beer here, but with the amount available and the low price, I can't complain too hard :D
