Bottle brown, 500 ml,11.8 P, got it in Munchen
Appearance: Pours pale yellowish golden body, brighter than previously rated Lowenbrau Akloholfrei with its gravity of 7.2 P!!! Vividly carbonated, snowy white head, frothy, initially medium, slowly decreasing to small, nice lacing, head is lasting and not diminishing, body is very clear.
Aroma: Very characteristic flowery sweet hoppy touches easily associated with the style of Helles. Alcohol is quite well felt but it is not disturbing and working together with hoppy profile for the style characteristic, gentle note of whipped cream and kind of oily oriented malty base in aroma.
Flavour: Typically dusty - chalky, slightly spicy, flowery - sweet hoppy profile, oily impression of beer texture, metalic impression in mouth, still clean and clear, very freshly brewed, just as straight from brewery line, easy going, reduced hoppy bitterness making the beer more easy going, very nice overall impression, soft aftertaste, finish duration is short.
Palate: Body is light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is spicy, metalic, dusty, quite clean with gently flowery - spicy nose.

Bottle at a party. Poured yellow with lots of head. week malts, with little hops. Very sweet, macro tasting beer.

Sampled in Berlin. An average german hell. Pours light with big head but very minimal taste. Spices are weak. Aftertaste is fair.

(bottle) pours a clear pale yellow colour with a small foamy white head. aroma of pale malts, herbal hops and a hint of white bread. flavour is the same, with a sweet grainy finish. medium body and carbonation.

bottle, clear yellow, slight skunk aroma, not bad mild hop flavors. original heavy hyped euro back in the day

Skuny all the way through. Bold skunky aroma when I popped the top on this bottle. It poured a light clean crisp yellow color with a light present head. After you let the aroma disipate the flavor is more like a skunky holland beer blended with an original whit beer. It is a refresing hoppy feel without that bitter aftertaste.

Can. Yellow body with medium white head. Malty aroma with some hops and citrus. Flavour is medium malty typical german lagers like with some hops and a bitter flowery finish. Medium bodied.
