UPDATED: AUG 4, 2010 Re-Rate from bottle: Straw and fresh grass. Pale golden,lacing white head. Straw and cookie malt bas, quite full and chewy. Good grassy hop balance which carries it to the finish. My old bottle must really have been a lemon, this is a solid Helles. Old rating from Bottle, 4 3 4 1 7. A tad straw and herbs in the nose. Pale golden, low on bubbles, ok frothy white head. Rather weakly pronounced strawlike malt and herbal bitterhop flavors. Flat and thin on the palate.

Bottled.Clear yellowish appearance with a soapy white head that doesn’t last long.Has a very clean,fruity,wet grass aroma.Flavors of,Honey,sweet malt,battery acid and wood cleaner.

Bottle 50cl. Clean fresh Export with decent hoppy note. Metallic finish, the good brewing water harmonizes this brew. Unspectacular.

500ml bottle. A not very noticeable aroma, maybe slight grassy. Not bad appearance but not great. Taste is okay but light and palate is not my taste.

Pale yellow bright clear, which frothy medium thick head, lacing. Aromas are sweet maltiness, floral hops, hay. Palate is watery, medium full-bodied and carbonation is crispy and smooth mouthful. Taste is sweet malty and the middle mixes in rather good dry hoppy taste. Positive surprise is fruity herbal hops taste in the finish, it gives the beer some fresh character. Still average. 2,2
