Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Edelstoff if you want a slightly richer, malt-forward experience,
Spaten Premium Lager if you want pure, crisp simplicity.
Both are Munich-style helles lagers with identical bitterness, but Edelstoff's extra 0.3% ABV translates to noticeably more body and a softer mouthfeel. Spaten leans drier and snappier—it's the beer that disappears. Edelstoff is the one you actually taste.

Tasting notes
Edelstoff
Edelstoff hits with a grainy sweetness up front—actual malt presence, not just pale straw water. There's a subtle honey note that sits on your palate for a beat before the clean, herbal finish kicks in. The carbonation is gentle, almost creamy. It's the kind of beer that tastes like someone actually brewed it for flavor, not just refreshment.
Spaten Premium Lager
Spaten Premium is what happens when you strip a lager down to essentials: grain, hops, water, restraint. It's crisp to the point of almost being austere—the bitterness is barely there, but you feel it as a dry snap at the end. The beer vanishes fast, which is either its genius or its limitation depending on whether you're thirsty or hungry for complexity.
