When you travel through Germany, you encounter many cities and towns each with their own local brewery, and they all make beer slightly differently. Like Warsteiner, Wernesgrüner Pils Legende offers a light beer with a slight spicy malt flavor and relatively low sweetness.

Although this pilsner may not stand out as highly distinctive, or meet the qualifications for whatever top rankings they issue at the fancypants beer sites, it is available at a reasonable price at your local ALDI and is highly drinkable as an everyday beer, much as it is in Wernesgrun, DE.

We would have, back in the day, considered this an ideal beer for summer because it allows all-day moderate drinking without shattering your body, although it is probably not good for getting blind drunk before noon. It is perfect as the random beer you reach for after a long day however.
