Nice Hallertauer nose undelined by malt. Golden, low carbonation, low head. Very nice balance: Fills the whole spectrum from full maltiness to mouth-watering hop flavors (grass, flowers, citrus). Very palpatable.

(bottle) pours a clear yellow colour with a fluffy white head. aroma of hay and tobacco, with light hints of caramel, grain and herbal hops. flavour is mostly the same, very soft, with lots of chewy pale malts and a slightly spicy, herbal-hoppy finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation. excellent helles.

Bottled (from mein-biershop.de). Golden colour, small head. Aroma is malts, some bready notes as well as floral and grassy hops with some herbal notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Mellow, yet tasty and refreshing. Suits chevre cheese very well.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with a firm white head. Clean malty nose. Medium body, sweet malts and a little perfuminess from the hops. Very subdued bitterness. 041009

Hoppy, light herbal aroma. Golden color, lively carbonation and a low head. Light malty with spicy hop notes. Light to medium bodied. Dry, bitter finish. Quite hop intensive helles.

500 ml bottle from Regensburg, Germany. Pours a hazy yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet malt, some sweetness, and citrus. Taste is more subdued than the aroma bringing in more robust malt and flowers. Palate is mooth but not for the style and it ends a dry for a Helles. Still a good solid beer.

Not a true Helles Weissbier which is what I had hoped for, but rather a golden hoppy (very hoppy) crisp flavor. I did not detect fruit but there was a distinct flowerly herbal flavor. Low Head - beware of fast pours as that flattens the bier.

draught at the brewery tap in the centre of Abensberg, accompanied by delicous Hopfenspargel dishes. Clear golden colour, large white head. Light-bodied, shy malty background with a fruity touch and good hoppy flavours with a citrusy touch.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear light medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, grain, toasted, moderate hoppy, dry grass. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, and a dry finish. Body is medium to light, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20091004]

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Fresh and moderately sweet malty aroma with a tinge of citrus and shy hoppy spice. Sweet and light-bitter flavour Pale malty, slightly sour doughy malty taste; medium-dry sweet malty finish with a tinge of sourness. Not bad but also quite one dimensional (29.07.08).
