Beetje vlak aan alle kanten. In de verte ruik en proef je de hoop op meer, maar na elke slok wordt de beloning wat minder. Aroma licht zoet, karamel, maar kan ook naar het pannetje ruiken waarin karamel is gemaakt, maar al in de zeepsop te week ligt. Smaak is iets beter, weinig tot geen body, maar licht verfrissend. Dikke textuur, olie-achtig. Droge ambitieloze nasmaak.

This is a pretty good helles. Somewhat mild, pretty alcoholic, smooth with a touch of caramel and bread.

Bottle shared with McTapps. Unusually dark for a Helles. Mild malt in the aroma. Very dull. Nothing really special, still drinkable but not really to recommend.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Clear golden colour with steady head. Thin texture. Taste of mild hops, ripe grains, apples and earthy leaves notes. Medium bitter, quite sweet.

Bottle of 300 ml at home. My first beer of the Dortmunder style. Colour is of copper, with two fingers white head, quickly gone, leaving some lacing around the glass. Hops on the aroma, caramel and some faint smell of alcohol. Taste is sweet, with some caramel and roasted malts traces. The 7% alcohol is like it’s not even there.On the body feels thick and it has an average amount of carbonation. Overall, a nice experience, it was like I was drinking one of the Mei/Lente (spring) bocks but with the high alcohol not being so obviously present.

#771 Kupferbraun mit feinem Schaum. Das Aroma ist nicht gerade einladend; irgendwie muffig nach Stall...Der Geschmack ist dann zum Glück nicht so übel: Süßes Malz im Vordergrund (für meinen Geschmack zu süß), nur leicht gehopft. Im Abgang erst lecker röstmalzig, bevor der Alkohol unangenehm dominiert. Als Bockbier eher durchschnittlich gelungen. Seltsames Geschmackserlebnis. Eine B-Probe wird garantiert folgen! Test vom 16.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,6,9,9,9,9 - 8,75

Amber coloured with a floral nose, taste is dry yet oily, slightly hoppy and grainy

Draft in Utrecht. Orangée/acajou col épais crémeux. Arôme une pointe fruité aigre? notes tropicales. Palais, fruité, léger note amertume/aigre rappelant la mangue et agrumes. Le tout est agréable sans monter une possible infection, j’en déduits que cela fait partie du style. Levure donnant des notes herbacées et de ferme. Le tout garde un beau palais fruité entre tropical, orangé pamplemousse (sorte de fruits fermentés) et un léger houblonné.

Bottle at Cafe de la Gare. Pours clear amber with a tan head. Aroma of malt, grain and nuts. Flavour is worty, medium sweet, light bitter. Medium bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.

Pours a amber color. Aromas of malts, something fruity, and some grass. Flavor malty and crisp with some nice grainy finish.
