Bottle, 4.5%. Clear pale yellow colour. Small white head. Cardboard aroma. Medium bitterness. Has some yeast to flavour even though it is clear and seems filtered.

Bottle in Jena. Pale golden body, medium white head. Fine, dry grainy nose. Nicely dry grainy taste too, but constantly under attack from a vaguely herbal bitter hopiness. Kinda nice indeed.

bottle from pivnizub! Clear yellow, large white head. Malty with a dry, hoppy component, herbal hops in the finish. Simple but solid Helles.

Bottled. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, grainy, fruity and quite wooden as well. Also some quite salty notes. Flavour is fruits, grains, some grassy and earthy notes as well. Balanced, and refreshing.

UPDATED: APR 8, 2011 500ml bottle from a colleague at work. Clear very pale gold, thin white head,. Some lager puke on the aroma? Touch of lemon hop too. Bit flat in the mouth in regards to flavour. Some lemon on finish. Touch of metal too. Gets a bit better as you drink it. A touch empty but ok

Bottled. A hazy light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and citrus as well as lighter notes of straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus, and straw, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very zippy. Starts a bit sourish-woody, all in all mild. Finish modest spicy, also a bit drier. A little bit unbalanced. Not bad!
