UPDATED: SEP 7, 2007 Drunk in Brauerei Gasthof Zum Blauen Bären in Neustadt. From tap. Just a bit soapy aroma. Flavor starts malty, but then the hops step forward. Some orange fruitiness. Re-rate, also from tap: malty flavor, firmly hopped with flowery hops. Malt and a hint of butter in the aroma. Blonde beer. Medium bodied and fairly dry. Good helles.

It’s hazy golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of sourness and malt. The flavor has a light sweetness and it’s very sour between very sour lemon and sour milk - down the drain...

bottled. sometimes i wonder if most of bavarias helleses are just made at one big brewery and just given different labels. anyways, amber with a thin head; aroma of hay and caramel; light tinny bitterness. yawn. i’m just trying to imagine a blind helles tasting, i think i’d fall asleep after half an hour

Bottle 500ml. @ home.

Clear medium yellow colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting to diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, straw, light to moderate hoppy, grass, fruity. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, malty. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20111130]

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond and short foamy head. Mildly grainy malty aroma with with a doughy touch and herbal hoppy spots. Slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crisp mouthfeel. Slightly grainy pale malty taste with good amount of herbal hops; quite dry and soft malty finish with present herbal hops, unfortunately also with notes of metal. 19.VI.10

Bottle. Sour milk and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Moderate bitter grass hops flavor dominates - light malt. Nice - very hoppy stylewise.

bottle, Dank an Frankenland. Clear pale yellow colour, mid-sized white head. Malty-grainy nose. Grainy, slightly malty with hints of cardboardy hops.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is very buttery combined with a note of malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of butter, leading to a dry finish where notes of both butter and straw lingers around.

50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy yelow with a diminished white head. Light milky and again a bit yogurtish aroma. Mid malty, light acidic and somewhat milky again. Ends malty and slight acidic.

Bottle: Pale golden coloured, thin lacing white head; sweet-malty nose with a distinctive touch of hop-resins in the background; robust sweetish flavour, influenced by a light bitterness; hops and hop-resin in the finish, accompanied by sweet malt. A good, quite hoppy Helles !

(Bottle 50 cl) Pale golden with a small head. Soft, lightly malty with the hops adding more aroma than bitterness. Quite a sympathetic brew. 030102
