Saarfürst Merzig Hell

Brewed by Saarfürst Merziger Brauhaus (Karlsberg)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Merzig, Germany

Serve in Lager glass

1000 ml bottle brought fresh from the brewpub. Let this fresh beer sit for a bit after pouring. Hazy gold color with thick white head. Taste is crisp and fine for a Helles. Palate is a combo of sweet and hops. This is a fine beer by any sense.

Tap at brewpub. Creamy barley malt aroma. Cloudy pale yellow color with moderate head. Lightly sweet barley malt flavor with light grass hops finish. Nicely blended. Very good Helles.

On tap at the brewpub. Light hazy golden yellow colour, fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon, wheat, and some grain. Flavour is lemony fresh, wheat, light sulfury grainy finish. Light to medium bodied. Very refreshing beer.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color. Light aroma. It has a dry mouthfeel, with some malt flavor (too common), sweetish but at least a respectable bitterness, leading to a long and robust final. Strangely, this beer as well ends a bit metallic. Pleasant.

Cloudy, large head. starts abit tart, followed by sweetness, some grass. Very nice drinkable beer, enjoyed fresh at Saarfürst, Merzig
