Plank Helles Lager

Brewed by Brauerei Plank Laaber
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Laaber, Germany

Serve in Lager glass

500 ml bottle in Germany. When compared to their other beers it might seem to some to be a disapointment but as a stand alone Helles this is everything a Helles should be. One of the better Helles that you can find anywhere. But most people dont understand what a Helles is.

Plank Helles Lager. Dull golden colour. Grassy, bready nose. Bready, herbal character. Some light bitterness. Tasty brew.

Bottled (thanks Timo A!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel malts, bready notes as well as rather fruity and wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. Very pleasant brew.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear yellow with a white head. Sweetish malty nose with a floral touch. Medium body, distinct floral hops that leave a surprisingly bitter finish - considering this being a Helles. 220809

(Bottle) Lasting white foamy head with a highly carbonated golden body. Nose is corn bread. The flavour brings out a mild tin taste. Good. Thanks Joss!

Bottle, 4.9%. Mild citric aroma. Hazy pale yellow colour. Small white head. Mildly flowery and grassy hop flavour. Subtle, but refreshing.

Süffig mild herber Antrunk. Ein hellmalziges Aroma ist untertönig durchgehend vorhanden, außerdem wir das Bier ab dem Mittelteil hefiger. Der Hopfen wird schnell wässrig und ist etwas holzig. Süffiges einfaches Helles. 10/9/11/8/11/11

Bottle thanks to Joss! Pours pale straw color with not much head. Grainy nose, slightly metallic, some hop. A little thin but decent palate with some chewiness. Good hop bite.
