3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
As Lager Helles. Dull gold. Caramel and woodsy hop aroma. Good hop bitterness, lots of bread, caramelly malts. Good balance. Rich & warming.

(bottle, shared by DerDoppelbock) Hazy orange colour with a short and non-persisting foamy white head. Quite shy yeasty and malty aroma with notes of sweat and herbal hops. Bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Distinctive yeasty and malty taste with horse blanket/ barnyard-character; dry, yeasty and bitter finish with aromatic herbal hops and light fruity accents. Well-crafted, full of (rural) character (06.10.06).

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...........
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught Huge, explosive white fluffy head to fully hazy, slightly greenish-yellow beer. Shy, hoppy nose with lots of pale malts underneath. Very fresh malts taste; extremely young-tasting, yeast determined, but good. Some DMS-like flavours, but easily suppressed in the balance. Light, certain grist slickness. An ideosyncratic German Pilsener from the tap. Crazy, but good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled - Bruxellensis - A slightly hazy yellow flat looking beer. The aroma is grassy and features also some lemony hops. The taste is nice fresh hops. Again lemon comes forward. Crisp, tasty and well brewed.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

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.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught@Bruxellensis. Clean, bitter and hoppy, but perhaps a touch to thin, to push it up there with the better ones. Still, i could quite happily drink a few of these. Nice grassy hops. Clean and bitter.

UPDATED: JUL 25, 2011 Too dark for a pilsener, absolutely no head at all. Apple aroma and flavor with a hint of mustard. Almost still beer. Hopbitterness in the flavor, lingering on in the aftertaste. This beer is called a pilsener, but it certainly isnt. It’s a kellerbier, and a drinkable one. 6 2 5 2 10 = 2.5
8 years later, in july 2011, I got a totally different one. Bottle, bought @ the brewery. Pale blonde. Hayaroma. Firm grassy hopbitter flavor. Notes of hay. Fairly dry. Characterful pilsener. The rating is for this one.
