Dickinsonbeer (2554), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 20, 2005 On tap at the Publick House: I dont know why this one is rated so much lower than the Dortmunder. This is a very similar beer and is just as good. It is however more delicate and is lower in alcohol so maybe that has something to do with it. Pours very light gold with a small white head. Aroma is of pilsner malt and just a hint of hops. Flavor is very malty but not cloyingly sweet at all. Like I said this is very delicate, but it goes down nice and smooth and is a very quaffable brew. Should change the category to Munich Helles Lager. Pale lager sounds like this should be a BMC equivalent. beaconstreet (810), Washington DC, USA Sep 4, 2006 Very delicious. Grassy and clover notes, subtle hops, good show, good show. This is an excellent session beer that can be paired all over the menu. chronictonic (365), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 15, 2008 on tap - Capone’s 6-14-2008<br /><br />(last of the keg) poured a sparkling clear pale yellow gold with a thick, bright white head. Aroma was sweet and grainy with some DMS. No noble hop aroma. Flavor was all about the pils malt - sweet and grainy. Mouthfeel was very very soft and smooth. Only points off would be the lack of any hop aroma and any hop flavor, and the carbonation was low. These faults could be attributed to the fact that it was the last 1/2 pint in the keg. TomDecapolis (2508), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 12, 2008 On tap at Capones. Pours a translucent golden with a medium creamy bubbly white head. Aroma of grassy, cereal grains, fresh noble hops and floral. Flavor of fresh noble hops, grassy, cereal grains, bready malt and floral. Crosling (1690), Loveland, Colorado, USA Apr 18, 2006 Draught @ the Publick House, Southampton. Golden color Expressive malt aroma. Juicy, caramel-like munich malt in the mouth. Darn good.
