Bottle: Pale golden coloured, slightly hazy, slightly lacing fluffy head; the nose is a mox of sweet-bready (mainly) and fruity-citrousy aromas; sweetish (bready) flavour; short citrousy and bready finish, only a very light bitterness in the aftertaste. A pleasant, light thirst-quencher with a franconian touch........

Bottle@ Bamberg. Golden clear. Aroma of spicy herbs and malty notes. Taste of toffee. Fine bitterness and finish. Pleasant straight lager brew.

Draught in Veilbronn. Clear golden, small head. Fruity phenolic nose. Sweet and medium bodied with notes of vegetables. Medium bodied with bold mouthfeel and too much sweetness. Low bitterness. With it’s lack of harmony it feels very un-Frankisch.

Warm golden with an OK head. The aroma has notes of malt and flower. The flavour is mild, smooth and pleasant. It has notes of malt, fruit, flower and a light bitterness. It’s charming and very harmonic.

Not bad,exactly, but certainly far from great. This beer pours a medium gold,with a medium white head. Nose is slightly sweet, with some floral and earthy notes and is probably the strongest aspect of the beer. Flavor is ok, but subpar for the style. A little hop bitterness, with some bready flavors. Come summer, these lovely golden brews really hit the spot, and this one was alright, but it doesn’t measure up to even the second tier Helles.

Golden colored, medium sized white head. Aroma is rather sweet with some butter and bitter hops, one could say that decent and basic helles aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Same butter comes up strongly in flavor, hints of some unclean metal and grains can be noticed also. Still fine hops and some sweet fruits last in aftertaste. As I said, decent helles.

It was an easy to drink and lightly malted beer with a bitter aftertaste that was ok with Chinese food. It’s taste of cream and bread lasted a long time.

Bottle, from Vroni’s in Bamberg, July 2005. Gold, moderate lasting white head and moderate condition. Low sweet maltiness in the nose, gentle but full bodied sweet honeyed malt in the mouth with some chalky graininess that lingers into the otherwise brief finish.

draft at the blue dog. Pours a golden body with a head that disappears very quickly. Flavor is malty but with an overbundent flavor of lemon and hops. A disappointing helles.

A very pale Helles with poor foam and head retention. High carbonation level is providing too much bite. Some subtle hop notes backed by light maltiness. This beer came as highly recommended from many in Bamberg so I’ll have to give it another try.

(bottle) Clear pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Sweet grainy, slightly buttery nose with light notes of resiny hops. Light-sweet flavour, grainy taste with a shy hoppy background, light body, almost crispy carbonation; malty, light bitter and dense hoppy finish. Pretty drinkable Helles, clean and refreshing.
