Anyone tried the new recipe Hahn Premium AKA Hahn Premium Australian Pilsener?
IMO Hahn Premium is a pretty boring beer but in a Crafty Pint blind test it beat several other brews including Weihenstephan Pilsner :blink:

According to Chuck Hahn:
"When I discovered that the late additions to the brew kettle of the German Hersbrucker hops were not being made properly and were of 2008 crop a couple months ago, I quickly made corrections to the brewing programs. The resultant brew displays a more pronounced European floral hop aroma and a cleaner hop finish (as it should with the proper addition of fresh hops). We decided to change the name to better reflect the style of beer that it was originally. Drinkers back in 1988 did not really know what a European-style pilsener was so we just called it Hahn Premium Lager. Now we are back to Hahn Premium Pilsener.
