Like all Spaten beers, it looks gorgeous. Nice and clear, solid head, looks migty refreshing. In actuality... eh. Light hops, and that’s about it. Not something I’d go out of my way for.

Dec 14, 2009 Drank from a tall well at the Moutain Brauhaus in New Paltz, NY. Smells sweet with some fall vegetable notes and mildew in the scent. Flavor is light but pleasant. finishes watery if at all. Not a great oktoberfest but easy to drink and no where near offensive. Went well with the brats I was eating.

Nov 20, 2009 En kedelig øl med for lidt smag, ingen fylde og meget lys. Den er ikke specielt noget at råbe hurra for, og de kunne godt have undværet at lave flasken så stor, da den kun fortjener et mindre rumfang der hurtigt skal overstås..

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle, from Rhythm & Booze, Barton-on-Humber. Gold, thin but lasting white head and moderate condition. Solid malty nose with a hint of lemony citrus notes, soft and full bodied in the mouth with the fruity malt just dominating a gentle flowery hoppiness, lingering warming grainy maltiness in the finish with a touch more lemony citrus emerging.

Nov 18, 2009 Amber gold in colour, clarity and colour levels similar to the famous Paulaner. No head whatsoever after a slighhtly aggressive pour into Erdinger glass. Very carbonated; hoppy yet also with a dash of malt.
Taste is of eldeflower and perfumes with a sharp zest twang on the mouth. Mouth feel is medium. Would like to try this on tap in Munchen as I thnk this may travel badly. Still a great clean crip and thirst quenching beer with a bitter twist. Bought from Utobeer, Borough Market, London.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottled. Clear golden, tiny white head. Mild but aromatic hoppy, herbal nose, sweetish malts, light alcohol, very clean. Nicely herbal flavor, mint, hint of minerals, pale maltiness, slightly perfumey. Medium bodied, pretty low carbonation. Despite all the goodies described this still has the basic factory feel.

Oct 24, 2009 0.5 l bottle from Alko. Golden color. Firm malty aroma with honey, hay and tart fruitiness. Dryish, honeyish and malty flavor with some tart fruit. Chewy mouthfeel. Clearly inferiof to standard Spaten Helles, Too much tart fruitiness.
