3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 cvillebeer (134) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - NOV 15, 2005Light golden with a frothy head that subsides into a decent half-inch of sustined head over a bubbly clear beer. A basic german lager is not my favorite style, but for what it is, this is pretty well done. Aromas of sweetish malt, barely noticeable hops and a familiar lager yeasty character. The flavor is smooth, clean and crisp, but with a slightly bitter-hop aftertaste. Not a stunning beer, but does what it does pretty well. Recommended if you want a light, clean unchallenging beer.

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.

This beer is lifeless from the way it looks, smells, and to the way it tastes. Reminds me of mass produced macros.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 blankboy (5135) - 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.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 bartlebier (448) - 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...
