Wulfstan (443), California, USA Apr 21, 2008 This is a wonderful beer. It’s bright, somewhat pale, gold with a huge, creamy white head that shrinks slowly to leave a permanent small head & beautiful, even rings of lace down the glass. The aroma has honey, a lot of lightly toasted grain, hints of lemon, pine, sulphur, and even a little toffee.
In taste, it’s mostly rather creamy malt with bread, lemon, pine, and very zesty. It’s mostly lightly sweet with a light, aromatic bitterness near the finish. It’s smooth & full-bodied, yet still crisp and refreshing. It’s wonderful with food and is incredibly drinkable.
nickdro99 (1), USA does not count Apr 15, 2002 Best beer I’ve ever had! The haufbrauhaus is a place you must visit. BeerDude78 (82), Denville, New Jersey, USA Dec 4, 2003 Wow what a nice beer. The beer poured a medium golden color with a nice flufffy head. Very light and refreshing at the same time. Very enjoyable JohnnyZ (75), USA Aug 27, 2008 The perfect brew from Munchen. Have not had a bad one yet. Always a good pick. Aroma similar to Corona w/lime. Taste mild bitterness. Somewhat dry mouthfeel. Goes down easy with any food. Quality from the German purity law. Good for the style. Parrothead (163), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 20, 2007 Ach! Mein Gott!
OK, OK, so maybe my High School german is failing me. I poured this from a 12oz bottle into a real half-liter krug, and true to form it left a huge white head. A slight hop/malt nose, and the mouthfeel is right on target. Sweet malt, just a perfect amount of hops, giving a wonderful, soft Munich Helles experience!
