NEKTAR Beer 5% vol. alc. 330ml bottle

style: German Pilsner (Pale Lager)

Banjalucka Pivara (brewery) was founded in 1873 by the monks of the monastery Maria Star to produce beer for their own needs. These monks belonged to the Trappist order with the world known old monastic tradition of preparing a good beer. Their beer recipes remained strictly guarded through the centuries. Many of the Trappist monasteries and breweries were destroyed during the revolutions and world wars. Among the monastic breweries, the Trappists were certainly the most active brewers: in the last 300 years, there were at least nine Trappist breweries in Europe. One of them, Banjalucka Pivara located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is still active and produces beers based on Trappist monks’ old recipes.
Nektar was introduced to the market in 1960. Since 1978, Nektar has won 7 gold, 10 silver and 4 bronze medals at the Monde Selection international competition in Brussels. In 2009 Nektar, that was positioned as the leading brand in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has been granted the status of Supebrand.

See below review from Ozzy blogger: www.beeroclockaustralia.com:

"(...)From popping the cap on this one until it's all gone you just have to be impressed by this beers appearance. It has a lovely golden colour with a large (3-4 finger) white head of tight little bubbles. There doesn't appear to be a heap of carbonation, but the retention of the head is magnificent and it also leaves a very impressive web of lacing. It's a highly impressive looking beer! (...)
(...)Nektar is quite a nice German Pilsner, just the sort of beer I would like to drink at a BBQ in summer. It's flavour isn't dominated by one element in the way many macro lagers are, it's extremely well balanced. There is a bit of sour grains that hits the palate as well as some apple before the light grassy hops takeover. The hops provide a surprising ammount of bitterness for such a light flavour. (...) To the importer considering importing more of this please do! I'll buy more of it as a cheapish lager to have on hand. Until someone takes on the task of importing this, Bosnia seems like the only place to get it so if your over there give it a go, it's very serviceable and will grow on you the more you drink it.

Remember it's always Beer O'Clock somewhere in the world!"
