Bottle, 4.5%. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. Grainy aroma, hint of wax and soap. The flavour has some malt, a hint of grain. A little aromatic hops, but also a bit soapy. OK, though.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas siehts doch recht blass aus. Der mittelporige Schaum hält auch nicht sonderlich lange. Der Geruch ist recht ausgewogen von Malz und Hopfen. Der Antrunk geht stark ins malzige, der Hopfen kommt leicht im Nachgeschmack durch. Es könnte etwas mehr Kohlensäure enthalten sein. Zum Mittelteil hin wirds aber recht annehmbar. Es ist relativ mild und lässt sich gut trinken.

Bottle. Golden, hazy, short and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty and lightly sweetish aroma, herbal hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, some bread and some herbal hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, some bread with herbal hoppyness. Really nice well hopped helles.

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Malty nose. Malty base, quite hoppy for a Hell, especially in the lingering finish. Bitter-sweet. A well-crafted example of the style.

Bottled (from mein-biershop.de). Yellowish golden colour with big foamy white head that lasts for quite a while. Leaves some slight lace. Aroma is bready malts, some grassy notes as well as mild herbs. Flavour is sweet malts, some grass, herbs and also quite hay. Ends in a rather grassy bitter way.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear light yellow orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, dusty, light to moderate hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090626]

Bright gold, thick head. Big liquid bread aroma is very appetizing with herbal hop. Flavour is slightly husky malt, fading to a herbal-sweet finish. Tastes better as it warms, too.

Draft @ brewery. Medium gold with gorgeous lasting foamy head and lacing. Very fresh malt aromas are like pure wort, sweet, nutty, and pastry-like goodness there. Potable easy drinking if not a tad thick and slight mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Nice flavors. Has the rich sweet maltiness and a nice well-hopped dry finish. Well-balanced hellas.

Bottle, tahnks pivnizub. Pale golden, low lacing white head. Straw malt and dry hops. Sweet on the tongue, with a sensible blalance. Ok chewy, fine sparkly on the tongue. Quite ok standard Helles.

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): Greenish-golden, small but persistent head, distinctive sweet-grainy to pale malty nose; solid sweetish-bitter flavour, almost medium bodied; sweet grainy-malty finish, supported by a light but distinctive bitterness. A very well crafted Helles........
