| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Pours a light clearish yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of grains and straw. Nice and clean and crisp. Along with the nice crisp clean malty flavors I get a little banana as well. Thin palate, but it coats the mouth a bit as well. Carbonation is less prominent than I expected from a lighter colored beer.
This is a nice, light German brew, lager, whatever. KingGambrinus (117), Santiago, Chile
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 24, 2008 Clear golden yellow with a foamy white head. It has a hay-like malt aroma and slightly hoppy. Flavor is obviously very malty with some fruit notes and grainy, pleasant bitterness. Medium body and lively carbonation. MrManning (1662), London, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 24, 2008 On tap at The Castle on King- Pours a sparkling gold liquid capped with a thick foamy froth, leaving good lace. The aroma is subtle grass, hay, some wood, and a touch of malty lemony goodness. The flavour profile is cookie/biscuit upfront with hay/lemon mid way and finishes with a good fresh hop lemon profile. Nice bite to the finish. Subtle and enjoyable session beer. pootzboy (1048), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada

Puts a clear pale gold lager in the glass with a 2 finger white sticky cap moderate retention, reduces to a surface cap and laces well.
Aroma of fresh biscuits with a herbal-woody under tone.
Stable malt spine, some biscuit malt up front, lovely herbal-woody-lemony discernment in the middle then a nice biscuit snap at the finish balanced with more earthy notes.
A fine helles for sessions...I think I like this better than the Hacker helles. blutt59 (2186), Dallas, Texas, USA

Aroma of malt, grains, and hops. Hits the mouth with a defined thin body, malt and hops noticeable but not overpowering, finish melts away, very refreshing. jimel001 (34), Los Angeles, California, USA
