Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of honey, leading to a dry strawy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Medium white head. Pale yellow body with carbonation. Grainy strawy aroma with not a whole lot else going on. Dry-sweetish grainy strawy earthy taste with minty caramel notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry grainy floral aftertaste with earthy notes. Nice, pleasant, smooth, and highly drinkable. (0.33l bottle, Rewe City, Bremen.)

Farblich bietet das Haake Beck edelhell ein ansprechendes Bild hinsichtlich Farbe und Schaum. Der Geruch ist herb und stark von Eisen dominiert. Süffig-weiches Empfinden auf der Zunge. Herbes Erscheinungsbild, wobei Antrunk, Mittelteil und Abgang nicht sonderlich voneinander abweichen. Wieder metallische Spuren. Ein sehr gleichförmiges Bier ohne größere Beanstandungen. Trinkbar. Test vom 21.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottle. Clear yellow coloured with a small white ehad. Aroma of malts, hay and grain with notes of hops and cardboard. Malty flavour of hay and hops with notes of grain. Hoppy finish. Not bad.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Mild grainy to dry cornish aroma. Dry cornish and mild biscuit malty flavour. Light bitterness coming through. Ends medium dry and light malty a decent balance.

Bottle 500ml. @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, grain, toasted. 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. [20100125]

Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass zippy, normal head. Starts mild, modest dry, same soapy notes as the pils. Finish well balanced, still mild, modest dry. Nothing special.

Bottle. The aroma is light fruity, some yeast. The head is normal large, white and foamy with a normal duration. The body is light orange. The taste is light sour (yeast), the finish is very soft metallic. The body is rather light with a lively carbonation and a creamy body.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head. Sweet, slightly perfumed malty nose with herbal and light-grassy hops. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, soft mouthfeel. Mild malty taste with strong herbal hops, which is rather uncommon, at least for a Helles; moderately bitter and slim finish with sweet malt in the aftertaste. North-German, hoppy interpretation of a southern style. Unfortunately the hops were pretty cheap.

330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, white head. Bitter hoppy aroma with grainy, malty background. Taste is minimally sweet malty, has a minimal metallic note, dry to bitter hoppy finish. Light body. Simple, refreshing.
