foxo82 (159) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - APR 30, 2012
On tap at Hirschgarten, Munich. Typical helles - aroma and taste both weak but pleasant. Looks good with the usual large head of foam. Metallic, slightly malty, bitter, ridiculously drinkable, extremely refreshing. Good lager here.

along with the helles, the best beers in the world you do need to drink the draft, in munich though the bottled version is ok but bottled beers are never as good

BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 25, 2012
The regular brown 500ml bottle, best before 03/2010, drank and reviewed 01/2010. Poured three times into a Veltins Pilsner stemmed tulip. Pale gold, clear, bright and clean. On top sat a snow white crown of foam. Cereal, grassy aroma, a litle hint of hops and yeast if you sniff and believe. No great flavour, typical of the style, it is refreshing and lightwieght in the mouthfeel. It does however have an after kick, the alcohol comes in towards the end and leaves a pleasant malty (for a Helles) reminder that you’ve had a beer.

Beerbarella (41) - - APR 18, 2012
500 ml bottle. Hints of fruitiness, mild. A beer from Munich and Bavarian beers rarely disappoint. Very nice.

Gio82 (10) - Bad Säckingen, GERMANY - APR 18, 2012
A benchmark for the style, great drinkability, you never get tired of it. Aroma is bread, hay, floral and doughy; taste is medium sweetness, with a light bitterness.

lusikka (2530) - Tampere, FINLAND - APR 17, 2012
500 ml bottle.
Pours a yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma of grass, some citrusy notes and malts. Flavour of grass, biscuity malts, grains and honey-like, mellow sweetness. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Alcohol feels a bit in the end. Nice one.
