Producing this much beer all around the world and keeping the quality this good, is amazing. People love to hate commercial varieties. The taste is comparable to less famous, more highly regarded beers. Not too sweet and perfect balance of flavour. Rich colour and not watery like so many competitors.Ĭrisp maltiness, and quite complex hoppiness.German but with essence of Czech. When I was 10, this was my favourite beer )ĭrinking from a bottle in a pilsner glass.perfect pilsner colour and head (but dies down a little fast).faint hoppy aroma. One of the first beers that I ever liked the taste of.when I was about 10. Surprisingly cheaper than the New Zealand beers and by far much better quality.Ī beer i will certainly be drinking again and again. Overall, this is a good emulation of the German offering, however slightly sweeter that makes this taste more like a Helles than a Pilsner in my opinion. Mouth feel is smooth and clean medium body and oh so refreshing. I think the American version of this is a completely different animal. Taste follows the nose but with a lovely bread tone on the finish, i feel the New Zealand version is slightly sweeter than the German one, ever so slight toffee at the end. malty hops with a light citrus peel, and slight grass (not the slightest hint of skunk at all) Pours a medium golden straw, two finger head that disappears rather quickly ,light to medium carbonation, pretty standard looking beer. Having tried the original from Bremen which i thought was fantastic, i was skeptical as to how good this would taste. Today's offering is brewed in New Zealand by lion breweries. It's made by supervision in various countries now, and the quality differs so much from place to place and i feel this reflects on the poor rating this has incurred. I think most drinkers have tried a Becks at some point. Turns out, that for a globally distributed - mass produced export, Becks is really quite decent, and makes for good contiguous consumption. Freshness is critical in this mainstream class of product, as is drinking it "young", so check the date on the bottle and select one with an expiration date no later than six months beyond the current date. I have probably had this beer 1K times, but never "really" evaluated or broke it down into its vital components before. Exhibiting latent pilsner qualities, the taste is lean and dry and generally inviting. This fermenting like nose gives way to hints of pate' as well as having a mushroomy, wet dough like component, not dissimilar to better champagne.īeck's is a dry, light to medium bodied beer, and is somewhat bitter in the mouth w/ a gentle effervescence on the tongue. Upon the initial pour, this beer has a nose akin to fermenting wine, similar to Heineken, although not as pronounced. Becks pours with a well-defined half-inch high white head of medium density, which settles down to a thin carbonated slick it is a true 18K gold color.
