Bottle and served in a standard pint glass: lean golden hue with a frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of pear esters, bready Vienna malts, a hint of honey and corn, and some herbal hop vapours. The taste displays a moderate sweet bread malt along with a dash of twangy fruit and a dry and metallic hop finish. The mouth feel is sprite yet still soft, almost too dry for maximum refreshment. Solid enough brew.

I’m not a fan of Helles beers, or lagers in general. That said, this wasn’t bad. I just don’t prefer all the malts in them. This had a nice balance between malts and hops, and an appealingly light flavor. VERY sessionable.

Bavarian Lager gets some points for doing a difficult style (Dortmunder), but to me it’s pretty much average in every way. Light grassy aroma. light yellow appearance. Light grassy flavor. I didn’t notice much in the way of hops. Just not my cup of tea.

A bit light for a helles but an ok beer anyway. Gold in color and there is a white head. Good malt flavor and hop balance, almost like a Bohemian pilsner. Saaz hops maybe?
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a cloudy amber with light head. A soft bitter hop odor. The taste is soft and clean, but hits with a slight malt taste that is matched with a hop aftertaste. A drinkable beer, but there are still better Dortmunders out there.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had this beer on 4/22/2003. Aroma is a light malt scent. Color is a fogy gold, with good carbonation and thin head. Taste is mild with an imported malt flavor. Starting with a medium light body it goes down easy with a clean feel. Finish comes on with a nice malt flavor that reminds me of an imported beer, this is followed by a mild hop bitterness and light flavor. This is a nice easy drinking brew.
