Clausthaler has a rich and flavourful taste that does make it distinct from any of the other brands we tasted. And, its aromas were very good also.

Grolsch is definately a beer drinkers beer; with a tall froth from the time its poured which lingers until you take your last sip. Hmmmm Delicious!

If you enjoy a unique tasting and very aromatic beer, then try the Bavaria Non Alcoholic brand. It has a light tasting malty richness.
