bottle from Getränke Degenhart. Clear golden colour, large white head. Malty, quite spicy, biscuity and grainy. Shy hoppy finish.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Tastes dry and strong, not as spicy as exspected. Finish a bit metallically. Average!

Bottle (under the licence of MoritzF): Clear golden, thin, lasting foamy layer; malty/grainy, dusty and a bit alcoholic nose; sweetish (malty) flavour with a shy bitterness; medium bodied; sweet and malty finish with some bitterness coming through the backdoor, just a little bit metallic. A drinkable Helles, but not really tasty............

(bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a foamy white medium head. Malts accented nose and taste with dense herbal hoppy notes, light hopbitter and malty finish. Unspectacular but drinkable brew.

Aroma towards the malty side. Pale golden in color - head retention could be better. Sweetish malty, hops are well hidden. medium body. All in all this is merily a bit stronger Helles, nothing really christmassy about it.
