3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 chinchill (586) - South Carolina, USA - NOV 2, 2012
.5L bottle purchased and consumed in Bavaria in July 2012. Very fresh with a best by date of 13 March 2013. Pours a light golden yellow with a large, creamy near-white head. The head has great feel, very good retention, and leaves nice lacing. The aroma is rather light and smells a bit too much like a brewery as opposed to a beer. Although fairly light flavoring, there are no (other) flaws in this Helles, and the sweet/bitter balance is excellent.
Mouthfeel: surprisingly full (medium body) and creamy. Well-chosen medium+ carbonation. [4+]
O: a fine Bavarian Helles, albeit undistinguished except for its great mouthfeel.
