UPDATED: NOV 19, 2009 5 000 ml keg. As Beierhaascht Hell. From Foetz, Luxembourg.
Hazy pale golden colour with huge white head. Aroma is sour citric, almost acidic. Flavour is also very sour with citrus. Hints of malt too. It’s not past BB date but it’s like gone slightly bad. Not very good one.

Draught pint taken in the British owned ‘Fu-Bar’ in Luxembourg City on 1st Jan 2012, my first beer of the year! The beer was hazy; it is unfiltered, the colour being a light straw blonde. The head was a thin covering of smell white bubbles that hung around for a while before retreating into a collar and wisp. The smells were of yeast and citrusy hops, the beer being poured so cold there was no aroma until I was half way down the pint. The cold pour also ensured the flavours were masked until the beer began to rise in temperature a little: The citrus nose came through into the taste, as did the yeastiness, the beer was fresh, so I think I got it at its best. Light in colour, light in body, but lively enough because of its freshness, I enjoyed it. Refreshing and thirst quenching; not for the cold weather though, which is when I had it.

Tap at brewpub. Pours hazy yellow with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is grain and meal malt, corn and a clean lager character. Flavor is malt with light spicy hops and a dry finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.

Säuerlicher, nebenbei hefiger Antrunk. Die trockene Säuerlichkeit bleibt konstant, bietet aber im Mittelteil ein paar Kräuternoten. Dennoch regiert natürlich die Säuerlichkeit deutlich und erscheint in Teilen auch etwas penetrant. Wenig bitter, hellmalzig, leicht getreidig, zum Ende deutlich gerstig. Interessant! Danke an Grima! 10/7/8/7/8/8

500ml swing-top bottle, directly from the brewery! Cause the beer is unfiltered, it holds only about 4 weeks. The beer in glass is yellow pineapple, very cloudy, with a very shallow crown. The aroma is hoppy sour, slightly sweet and slightly yeasty. Starts very yeasty-made sour, the sour aftertaste is again a trace. It tastes wonderfully fresh and natural. Is probably not to everyone’s taste because of the extremely sourish taste, but it hits completely kind of taste!

250 ml bottle in Germany, thanks to shrubber85. Pours a light clear yellow gold. Aroma is of sour grapes and bread. Taste is peppy and zippy almost like a Radler. Has a lot od citrus taste in it. Palate is a weak citrus and hoppy. This is more of a Saison than a Helles.

Bottle 330ml. w. swing top.

33cl, as Béierhaascht Hell, Luxembourgian brew, thx to Jerre!, not complex slightly sour brew, yet refreshing, not balanced, cloudy, small head, nothing special

Bottle from Shrubber85. Pale blonde, cloudy. Citrusaroma. Prickly lemony flavor with some malt and yeast notes. Pleasant and thirst quenching.

Slight straw-like crystal malt aroma. Golden with a hint of white head. Thin but clean helles lager. Plain and simple.

Yellow hazy colour. Citrus and straw hop aromas. Rather bitter and lightly sour. But all in all refreshing. Light watery body and thin, average texture. Finish is a bit slick and vanishing.
