Bottle. Golden, white head, fine pearling carbonation. Light cookie malt notes, a hint sulphur, herbal hops, a bit salt in the finish. Medium to light chewy body, feels a bit flat. Wasn’t the freshest sample, but overall not so exiting.

Pale, full, grainy and quite hoppy beer with a lovely malt-sack aroma. Quite rich maltiness balanced with late bitterness and citrus but overall it’s malty.

Pours a light yellow colour with a small head. Aroma of honey, grassy hops and some malts. Mild flavour of grassy hops, honey, flowers and some chalk. Light bodied, actually a bit creamy mouthfeel and a light, bitter, grassy finish. Very high drinkability, nice.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 Grima (1864) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 12, 2012
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 steht ein relativ blassgelbes Bier mit mittelgrober, kurzlebiger Krone. Geruchlich dominiert ein dezent muffiger Hopfen, etwas bitterlich riechend. Der Antrunk erfolgt anfangs süßlich, wird aber schnell beissend herb-bitter und dezent muffig. Der Abgang zeigt sich ebenso, nur das hier noch ne gute Portion Malz hinzu kommt. Aber alles in allem bleibts sehr bitter und unangenehm muffig. Leider nicht allzu gelungen.

0.5 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Pale golden color. Honeyish and slightly herbal aroma. Dryish honeyish flavor with hint of paper and hint of herbal hops. Has perhaps lost some freshness, BB one month ahead.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 mile (2118) - Helsinki, FINLAND - NOV 19, 2011
Bottle. Golden, small to average and fully diminishing head. Light to moderate malty and lightly sweetish aroma, faint vegetable - grassy hoppyness. Medium, malty - lightly grainy and sweetish flavor, faint grassy hoppyness. Finish is short to average, malty - lightly grainy and lightly sweetish, light grassy hoppyness. Lightly sweetish helles, nothing wrong - nothing special.

500 ml bottle at home in Germany with much thanks to shrubber85. Pours a clear gold color with lots of action in the glass, and has a soft short white head. Aroma is hops, malt with some sweetness to it. Taste is a soft malt sweet grain taste. Palate is mellow and quite nice for this Helles. A good solid helles.
