Bottle from Rodman’s. Pretty sure this is what I had, the bottle I had was Augustiner-Brau Mundieu Edelstoff. Pours a nice yellow with a minimal head. Little aroma, some grain. Very carbonated. Some malt and grain on the back palette. Very clean flavor that is pretty consistent from front to back. Though this isn’t my favorite style, I’d have a few more of these if I was in the right mood.

Beautifully clear light straw gold. Aroma is grassy, floral. Taste is sweet, crisp, light bitter hop. Very nice stuff.

Bottle. Clear golden colour, with two fingers white head. Very intensive carbonation with big bubbles. Hoppy citrus (lemon) aroma, some straw, vegetable and white wine aroma, too. Taste is kinda fuzzy, neither sweet, nor acidic. Aftertaste is light bitter.

Bottle. Color clear yellow with small white head. Aroma malt, grain, bread. Taste sweet, grain, bread, butter.

Bottle pours a pale golden with a thin white head. Scent is sweet malts. Taste is sweet malts with a bitter finish.

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

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.

500 ml bottle. Hints of fruitiness, mild. A beer from Munich and Bavarian beers rarely disappoint. Very nice.

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.

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.
