bready malt aroma..creamy mouthfeel....nice easy drinking balanced beer......a good beer as a lawnmower beer...but not a bad thing the best helles that I have ever had

A nice bright golden pour with a two finger white foamy head that disapated rather quick and left good lacing. Bread notes in the aroma with a hint of grass. A mild crisp flavor and mellow balance between initial sweetness and mild bitterness. A good warm weather beer.

Pours golden with a soft white head. Bready nose, honey character, and a soft dry hopping that gives a mild grassy floral character. The malts were a bit watery on the palate, crispness was lacking, and the flavor was a bit lifeless.

Pale yellow beer with a nice white foamy head. Buttery, spicey aroma of yeast and malt. Sweety&malty bread flavour with a light hop and corn. Moderated carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel

swing-top 500ml @mums from kathi. pours light straw colour, little to none head. aroma of oat cookies. quite refreshing but uncomfortable bitter aftertaste. quite watery. not mine.

Swing top bottle poured a clear yellow with a lasting white head. Aromas of straw, bread, light citrus and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, straw and light citrus with a smooth moderatly bitter finish.

Bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, husks), lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers), with a light note of soap. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Nice lasting head and a good mouthfeel, but kinda lackluster otherwise.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2009 Golden yellow, good full lacing. Soft dry cereal aroma. Some creamy character in the malt, unassuming.

Flip-top bottle: Golden coloured, huge fluffy head, sticking to the glass; fuller sweetish-grainy-dusty nose with shy hoppy spots; sweetish flavour, medium bodied; mainly sweetish-grainy finish with a slightly lingering bitterness. A chewy, decent brew...............

(swing-top-bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a big foamy white head with nice lace. Light sweet malty nose with honey and shy floral hops in the background. Light sweet flavour, light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Malty start with a light floral hoppy finish, slightly bitter and quite short. Still a decent Helles.
