My bottle reads "Munich Gold". I have a hard time believing this is not the same thing as their Edelhell, given the exact same alcohol content. This one might be a shade darker in color. Out of the 6 I bought, I found this to be moody. Some of the bottles were sort of muted, but others were bursting with flavor. What I was surprised to find was that backing up some really nice, clean, sweet, but medium-light, malt flavors was this nice little bit of flowery hop "crunch" at the end. I really loved this beer.

Super clear bright and solid whitened gold color with some softly effervesced bubbles making there up thru the bright gold body. Slimming but strong, starchy white capping of foam creates a quick top to then leave a trace skim and a thin collar. Lacing is drippy with a few spots sticking and a couple casts of sporatic blobs. Wonderfully clean, crisp, and brightly sweet with a fresh berry scent with a slight underscoring of cystal malt grain, trace hop leaf, and a pinch of soft lemon air. Flavors are quite solid, a well deserving showcase for the style. Well tendered sweetness is clean, crisp, very well-rounded; berryish tone mixed with a stint of bread dough sweetness, no crusts please, and a nice touch and pulse of real grain goodness that lasts very well across the palate. Slight starchy dry finish with bready leftovers, airy lemon, and a puff of leafy hops. A nearly perfect taster for the style. Body is just shy of medium, but the length is outstanding and actually seemd to gain a bready girth as it goes. Outstanding! The crispness is set forth with a gleem of short rounded snappyness. Then the sweetness rolls in from a malt load of fun twisted berry breads and lemon puff chewy cookies. Delish!! A near perfect Helles Lager if there ever was one. Drinkable? You bet it is. Unwholly drinkable really. Yummy, yum, yum!

Bottle - Grassy, doughy aroma. Great clarity. This is a very, very solid beer. Light malty body with slight hints of dough and tobacco. A sharp perfectly bitter finish. Surprised by the low ratings.

355 ml. bottle, "Produced On" date (05/07) in the lower right hand corner of front label, sampled in a pilsener glass. Crystal clear in appearance, a nice bright golden lager color, large frothy white head, good retention, small amount of laced sticking. Smells of dry grassy grains and pale malt sweet, a mild lemon fruitiness and a light herbal hop. Creamy smooth medium body, gentle, well rounded feel in the palate. Soft crispness and dry finishing, husky grains with little pale malt sugariness. A delicate tart lemon hoppiness that turn spicy towards the end, provides a pleasant dry bite. Dry husky, grassy grains linger a bit in the aftertaste. Refreshing taste and quite quaffable, a great after work beer.

Nice swing top bottle. Malts dominate and it has a welcoming golden appearance.Slightly bitter and easy to drink.
