Bottle: Golden, mid-sized lacing white head; distinctive bitter, almost aromatic-hoppy nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium-bodied, smooth MF; shorter sweet-malty finish with a dash of hops in the aftertaste. Good, but more a Pils than a Helles...........

It’s golden with a creamy, white head, and the aroma is like the slightly sweet flavour with notes of malt, bread, flower, dry straw and the finish is slightly dry.

[bottle] Pleasant fresh noble hops aroma with promise of some sweet base malt. Also pineapple notes. Almost crystal clear straw under a fizzy white head that quickly drops to a thin white cover and lace. Nicely balanced flavour of sweet malt and noble hops. There is some crispy bittering to the beer, but the balance is a touch on the sweet side. A tiny bit of nutty cardboard in the finish. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, sweet and bitter together through the finish.

Bottle. Pale golden, creamy head. Light fruity, neutral nose. Hayish malt base, fairly thin on the palate, a bit stringy, subdued hops, ends on a sweet note.

Bottle, 5.2%. OK fresh bread aroma. Clear pale yellow colour, small chalk white head. Fresh bread flavour with some rubbery hops. Not as bad as it sounds, but a tad boring. OK crispness in the aftertaste.

(bottle) Clear, greenish golden colour with a fluffy, slowly lacing foamy white head. Soft and slightly sweet malty aroma with strong herbal hoppy notes. Light-sweet flavour, medium to light bodied, moderate to crispy carbonation. Initially malty with early arriving herbal hops; dry and moderately bitter and hoppy finish. More like a Pils than an Export, and a pretty drinkable one.

Light metallic hop aroma. Golden color, small foamy head. Malty flavor, few sweetness, grassy hop notes in the end. Light dry finish. Quite ordinary.
