Impression: Gottmansgrüner Pils is a textbook German Pils. Straw yellow hue and creamy white head atop a balanced hoppy brew. The clean finish is semi-dry and semi-bitter. Sadly, the brewery was sold off and closed in 2009. The resultant beer paled in comparison. In 2024, the rights were acquired by someone who sounds more sympathetic to returning the beer to its old glory. That said, they still brew it elsewhere (possibly MetaBrewSociety GmbH in Naila) but hopefully closer to the original. I would say it was a very tasty German Pils. These notes are sparse due to the number of beers sampled in a short time at the Bavarian Czechia Beer Tasting event held in Rehau.
