Pawola22 (3180) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUN 10, 2013
50cl bottle from some beer store in Gräfelfing. Pours a crystal clear, straw yellow colored body with a finger-width, frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is grainy pils malts with a touch of sweetness, a light straw, and maybe a touch of fruitiness. Flavor is similar. Grainy pils malts with a light straw, touches of fruit, and a slight metallic note. Finishes clean, dry, and very lightly bitter before leaving a short aftertaste. Light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent Helles. Nothing special, but clean, balanced, and easy drinking without any glaring off-flavors. Not bad.

Can. This one is unfortunately verging on its exporation date. Color is light yellow with a green tint. Light foam vaporates quickly. Aroma is dusty flourish, bit nasty. Low carbonation. Taste is light with corn, some citrus. A bit sweet, lingering smooth aftertaste. Overall quite light and nice. Aroma is a definite minus.

yrstruly (197) - Guelph, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 6, 2013
Pours pale gold with a minimal white head, nice lacing, and lively carbonation. The aroma is of light malt with a hint of caramel and floral hops. The taste is clean and dry, slight malt character quickly fading to assertive but not overpowering hop bitterness. Medium-light bodied, but the finish lingers. This is a great example of the style.

Rob_D_UK (229) - Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 21, 2013
Pale yellow body with few bubbles, small white head. Light malty aroma. Flavor is not that big, as I would expect from a lager, but it has a nice touch of grassy hops

fiammanghilla (120) - Genova, ITALY - MAY 11, 2013
Bottiglia 50cl a casa Chiara, schiuma grossolana che sparisce al volo... In bocca poco corpo, giusto un po' si amaro e un retrogusto così così... Meglio di molte altre da supermarket comunque ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iFox

Draft at Fado. Clear gold pour with a white big bubble foam head that left some runny lace. Looks nice. Tastes uncomplicated. Medium full lager with some bright notes. Golden wheat. Classic but feels manufactured. Quaffable but forgetable.
