| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Draught in the Biergarten. Golden, strong carbonation, lacing creamy white head. Aroma nice bittersweet maltiness, a little chalkiness and grass, very natural, interesting. Taste is bitter, hoppy, a bit of a chalky funk. Wonderful Kellerbier, I don’t care if MJ calls it a Helles. There’s really an elegant hoppy bitterness, slightly herby, earthy. Dry, long finish, light whisper of sweetness from the malt, very well balanced. Simple but really, really nice.

Nice dark golden, almost amber color. Great malts but not too much, wonderful bitterness and hoppy notes. ¾ (5107), Boulder, Colorado, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 22, 2009 I think this one was from a bottle. Color was a clear dark gold. Aroma was meaty, bready with vegetable and some earthy hops. Flavor was much better than the aroma. A good balance; bready and fruity, with yeast notes and an earthy finish. Very nice for the style, well the flavor at least. Jukkabro (3085), Tampere, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2009 Dark golden colored. Buttery aroma with nice fruity tones, grass and some Danish vegetably yeastiness also here, though no yeast in glass... Medium bodied. Flavor is more hopped with some rubbery, even burnt note, still I like this. Aftertaste is buttery still with drying hops. daniele (1914), Italy

The aroma is Franconian big worty malts and some sawdust and damp wood. Flavors strike a nice sweet-hop balance. Good quaffable stuff. Unfortunately tends to be variable. Can be yeasty, damp wood and slightly sour. At times it shines, at times it does not. MiP (9376), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Clear light amber colour. Nice stable lacy white head. The flavour starts off clean, but a bit thin. Has a little chalk to begin with, that is nice enough. Slightly watery finish. Clean, but not so interesting.
