Bottle by 9.12. More of that weird herbal nose, gods, what are they doing to get that? Pale crayon yellow with a bright white head. Body is light but not watery, there’s more bitterness here than in their pils, and the house flavor disappears somewhat in the mouth, or at least doesn’t annoy.

Bottle. Pours golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of fruitiness, floral hops, honey, malt and yeast. Flavor is sweet and fruity with some malt, floral hops and yeast. Medium to thin body, average carbonation.

Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, grain, cabbage and grassy hops, Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a short cabbage finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Bottle, from trade with Maria. A more or less clear one, golden in color and with a minimal sized off-white head. Fruity and grassy nose with a touch of pine cones. A touch of dms as well. The flavor is fruity and lightly malty, pale malts of course, with a faint bitterness towards the end. Medium body, semi-dry. Some metallic notes in the end. A decent and drinkable beer, nothing more. 120224

Poured a very pale yellow body with a lasting small white head. Faint, slightly eggy malty nose. Light grainy taste, acidic hop, very light bitterness. Too watery. Could pass as a pale lager...

Sehr mildes, im Nachgeschmack leicht bitteres Helles. Wieder einmal ein Bier, dass sich in keiner Kategorie groß hervortuen kann. Trinkbar ist es dabei schon, aber dieses Bier ist es nicht wert, extra bestellt zu werden. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,6,8,13,8 - 8,05

A nice Bavarian helles, mild, but not dull, it packs enough decent flavors in it.

0.5 l bottle. Pale golden color. Sweet, malty, honeyish and grassy aroma with notes of corn and hint of glue. Sweet malty, honeyish and toffeish flavor with low bitterness and hints of herbal hops. Not very fresh.
