Cask at the brewpub as Helles. Their bottles say 4.9%. Clear golden colour. Stable frothy white head. The flavour is nicely malty, distinct bitterness, slightly rough.

It’s golden with a white head, and the aroma has notes of hay, grain and malt. The flavour has al light sweetness and notes of hay, straw, malt, and it’s a bit boring.

Bottled 500ml (BBE 11/2011)
Thanks bierkoning! Pale yellow color, small white head, lace. Strong herbal-grassy, vegetably aroma (green beans). Light bodied. Grassy-herbal hoppyness, sweetish maltyness but then boiled-vegetables which are off-flavors (DMS perhaps).

Bottle 500ml. @ home on the terrace.

ABV: 4.9%. Clear light medium yellow colour with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, cereal, toasted, light hoppy, grass, green gras, sour green grass. Flavour is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration, sweet malt, sour grass, big peas earthy. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110604]

draft, as Helles. Light coppery gold with nice head. Aroma has slight diacetyl and caramel. Palate is light but the flavors linger. Has some nice toasty malts at the finish. That’s nice but is too caramelly for me, smells like a caramel candy. Good brewery tho.

As Lager Helles. Dull gold. Caramel and woodsy hop aroma. Good hop bitterness, lots of bread, caramelly malts. Good balance. Rich & warming.

draught at the brewery in weisbrunn. clear and effervescent yellow with a dense and foamy white head. meat-like nose of baloney (!) fat and pale malt. flavor is somewhat sour, hints at green cabbage and aspirin and stale bread. buttered bread finish, medium body, messy malt texture. not good.

Draft at brewpub: Yellow golden. Dying white head. Worty, unclean nose of nutty yeast, honeyed malt, and herbal hops. Prickly carbonation. Weighty body. Curious absence of hop flavor is overrun with a sharp and overaggressive hop charge. Dully hoppy with toasted malt husks. Intensely nutty, crunchy and cereal-like. Pistachio-like yeast character further weighs the body down as it exacerbates the poor attenuation and high honeyed-grain concentration. Again, no salvaging refined hop flavor to be found anywhere. Finishes doughy, muddled and abrasively hoppy with a late herbal snap. Bad batch, who knows? Very unclean and poorly attenuated.

Bottled@brewpub (thanks to SADESA for sharing). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is diacetyl, malts and some herbs as well as hops. Flavour is grassyness, some bready malts, diacetyl. Even though the big amount of diacetyl, very pleasant and drinkable.

Draught at the brewpub: Presumably golden with a creamy-lacy head; solid herbal-hoppy nose; moderate to solid bitter-sweetish flavour, light bodied; slightly lingering bitter-strawy finish. Pretty good...........
