This beer pours a golden, straw yellow like any Euro lager. As soon as you pop the cap you can smell the skunkyness. A few of the thoughts running through my head after the first couple sips: good flavor to the yeast, dry finish, fizzy, crisp, refreshing, memories of European bars.
I’ve been picking up six packs of this beer at the store every few weeks for the last couple of months. It has been good to take to parties and nice to crack open after a long day at work. It goes down easy. I like beers like this one. It tastes good enough to ingest, yet it is not overly complex requiring me to think about every sip.
After some brief research I’ve learned that this beer can be found at ALDI, the wonderful German based discount supermarket. I am not fortunate enough to enjoy one of these fine stores in my locale, but for those that are, the word on the web is that Klassiek goes for $5.99 a six-pack. Kind of hard to go wrong there.
ABV: 5.0 %
Grade: B
ALDI, you say? done.
So hilarious, I was in ALDI last night and walked past an enormous case of these. I was like no way omigosh.
Seen this beer at ALDI, had to give it a try, it’s okay, nothing great, but not at all bad.
Interesting drink – but somewhat unlike other Lagers I’m friendly with. A decent pour. You get the a certain hops flavor and it actually tastes stronger than the reported ABV of 5%. All lagers are different in the Euro Kingdom. Acceptable in that realm. However, expecting it to be a bit more refreshing and aftertaste somewhat off. 3 of 5 rating.
Sincerely,
