Bottle. Light golden, small to average and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate malty - grainy and lightly sweetish aroma, light grassy - faint herbal hoppyness. Light to medium, malty - lightly grainy and lightly sweetish flavor with light grassy hoppyness. Finish is average, malty - grainy and dryish, light grassy hoppyness. Dryish helles - OK hoppyness considering the body .

Shared with Azlondon in Andechser am Dom 6.4.2013. Tap 30 cl. Golden, clear with a white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Light bitter taste with a short malty end. Average

50cl bottle pours with an opaque pale crystal clear gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up light floral hops, slightly sweet smelling grainy malts and sweet estery light skinned fruitiness. The taste of this hell is hell of smooth and crisp and refreshing and sessionable. I get light floral hop bitterness, clean grainy maltiness and then floral hops and other light Noble hop notes get a boost from the carbonation to midway. It just slides smoothly into the finish. This would be one fine hot weather brew to tug on with a pleasing balance that keeps its drinkability on high.

500ml bottle from some grocery store in Munich. Pours a crystal clear, pale straw-yellow colored body with a two finger-width, foamy and frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is somewhat grainy with a light malt sweetness, some grassy notes, and touches of melon fruit. Flavor is similar. Clean, grainy malts with a light grassy note throughout and a soft sweetness. A few fruit notes before this finishes lightly bitter, dry, and clean with a hint of sulfur. Medium length aftertaste following a light body and a moderately active carbonation. Overall, a clean and straightforward, but very easy drinking helles. Not bad at all.

Bottle 0,50L. Clear golden colour with a finger and a half big frothy, white head. Medium intensive aroma of white bread, cookies, light lemon hops, vanilla and butter. Oily mouthfeel sophisticately obtaining on bitterness. Very drinkable and refreshing beer.

Appare dorata con poca schiuma. E la classica helles che quando la vedi ti fa venire voglia di berne tre litri e mezzo. Aroma stranamente erbaceo, è netto l’apporto dolce del malto con una retrolfattività di miele. Corpo leggero, acquoso, mediamente carbonato con le stesse note gustative percepite al naso e sempre con quel carattere erbaceo ben definito. Gli stili semplici sono quelli più bistrattati ma non da me. Una birra beverina, liscia e poco impegnativa ma fatta benissimo.
