Admittedly, I am speaking from my visit to the Karlsruhe area back around 1980, but I distinctly recall this beer. I even brought one of their glasses back to the US for my collection. Now I can't describe to you the taste as having a blueberry finish or being hoppy or tannins (maybe that's wine) or whatever the aficionados call it. I just remember it as clean, smooth, and having that simple but great German pils taste. For the week or so I was there, I recall seeking out places to eat that served Moninger.
If you are in the area, you should do the same. Tell'em I sent you.
(They won't know what the Hell you're talking about, but they'll served you anyway.)
I was stationed in Karlsruhe from 1964-1967 with the US Army. Willie the beer delivery man would carry large wooden cases of one pint "thumb snapper" bottles up 4 flights of stairs to my apartment. You received a free glass with each case. Great beer and miss it a lot!
