Bottle
Golden, low visible carbonation, quickly dissipating foamy white head. Fresh aromatic hop aroma on a weakish straw malt base. Lightbodied straw malt balanced with restrained aromatic hops. Completely dies on me in the exit.

Bottle by 02.02.2013. Grassy and dusty nose reminds of a recent Zoigl. Pale yellow with a rocky bright white head. Very light body. Faint citrus and malt, faint grass, faint everything.

It’s hazy, warm golden with a creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of grain and bread. The flavor has notes of hay, grain, slightly overripe fruit and the finish is slightly dry. It’s a bit out of balance.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a white head. Malty aroma with some butter, hay and grass. This is like a little towards a smooth Czech Pils but with a more coarse finish. Lively carbonation.

On tap at Gourmet Haus Staudt. Looks exactly like I’d want it to - clear bright golden yellow with a nice white head fading to a ring. Big hoppy aroma, grassy and grainy. The flavor is solid for the style if not too exciting. Sweet pale malt and grassy hops, fairly bitter and slightly sweet. Medium in body for the style with a crisp and dry mouthfeel. A respectable helles lager in all.

Sehr hopfiger Antrunk, zu dem nach und nach eine leichte Malzigkeit kommt. Der Mittelteil ist weiterhin vom Hopfen regiert, insgesamt aber zu mild. Das Malz ist hier weniger zu erkennen und zeigt sich nur von der süßlichen Seite. Leicht bitterer Nachgeschmack, untersützt von einer Getreidigkeit, die ebenfalls von Malzigkeit unterstützt wird, diesmal aber nicht so süß. Test vom 17.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,11,11,8,10 - 10,30

A: The pour is a mildly hazed golden straw color with a large white head. S: This is pretty light on the nose. Mostly yeast with a touch of bread and floral hop notes. Not overly impressive, but good and "clean". T: The flavor starts off with some pale, cracker malts and a touch of bread. There’s a lot of floral notes that give the beer a bit of a honey character. Nice and crisp with a mild to moderate hop bitterness. M: The beer is light on the tongue with a really nice and crisp carbonation. D: Certainly worth the tick. Quite easy to drink and very enjoyable.

Bottle. Slightly sweet creamy barley malt aroma with hint of grassy hops. Clear medium yellow color with moderate head. Sweet milky barley malt and mild hops flavor. Not bad - a nice Helles.
