Garlic_of_Doom (192) - Bjärred, - NOV 9, 2012
Bottle from Systembolaget, shared by Mats. Pours light golden with a big head that quickly dissolves. Citrus and sweet malt in the aroma. Taste is mainly sweet malt, a little bit of bitter hops and some metallic notes. Refreshing, but not much more.

stevoj (910) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2013
Light, tangy helles from Hofbrau. Light grassy and citrus elements in the aroma, some grapefruit in the taste. Appearance is kind of flat, almost no head. Very drinkable, and light enough for the warmer months.

Beerathon (586) - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 14, 2013
This beer is lifeless from the way it looks, smells, and to the way it tastes. Reminds me of mass produced macros.

Had it off of a tap at Hofbrau Beer Garden in San Antonio, poured a golden hue with very little head. Taste was a bit watery, with a slightly bitter finish.

blankboy (5136) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 12, 2013
Draught at the Town Crier. Pours a clear gold with a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma of grain, grass, vegetal notes, light sugary sweetness and apples. Flavour is grainy and grassy along with apples, light vegetal notes and straw. Average bodied. A pretty average beer.

bartlebier (449) - Baden-Württemberg, GERMANY - APR 9, 2013
50cl bottle, Edeka. - Very pedestrian typical grainy Helles, palpably at ease with its modest origins as macro-batched wort and its second life as liquid cardboard box to quench the masses. Not in the least refreshing, tired, hops (extracts?) struggling to free themselves from their sticky malt grip. - Maybe this old-school lazy tradition-keeper of a beer makes more sense from draught, in a 1L mug, in a leafy Biergarten, in June, in Bavaria...
