COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A good beer takes time. The long lager time makes our pale beer a matter of mild, flavourful beer enjoyment. Brewed in accordance with a centuries-old beer tradition on Weihenstephan Hill.

$2.99 from MB. Pours a straw orange golden into pint. Snowy white head. Aromas of rice, noble hops, and hay. Tastes the same.

kerenmk (1214) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - MAR 21, 2013
Bottle. Clear light golden, bubbly, small white head. Warm piss aroma, very grainy, some chalk. Tastes very grainy as well, faint bitterness and mostly malty sweetness and minimal bitterness. . Light body, relatively soft carbonation, long-lasting sweetness.

droef (21) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 17, 2013
Served in bottle 50cl. As a fan of the Weihenstephaner brewery I didn’t understand the comments on the smell, untill I poured one myself. That’s not very appealing! Taste is ok, I had hoped it would be better..

maxwelldeux (2244) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAR 7, 2013
Bottle. Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a moderate white head. Nose is kinda skunky to me, like a lot of beers in the lager family. Taste seems just a tad oily, which is weird. Not a big fan of this.

Bricks (457) - Delaware, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Pale golden yellow, foamy white head. Smells of grain and maybe some malt. Taste of wheat/hay. Good beer.

Khaggerty118 (56) - Olney, Maryland, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Pours a pale yellow. Head dissipates quickly. Pale lager scent. Pale, crisp lager flavor. Its refreshing, just isn’t complex or flavorful save the crisp nature of it. WIll go down easy; no one will praise this beer.

Wanja (324) - Bavaria, GERMANY - FEB 23, 2013
UPDATED: FEB 24, 2013 0.5 l bottle as present... Aroma is okay... Little bit watery, by far not the best Helles beer.

Xstream (102) - - FEB 16, 2013
A: straw golden color with a large foamy white head. S: Can’t put my finger on it. Almost like warm milk with dough, quite stale. T: Better then the smell suggests. Like a pilsener, but then the stale flavor kicks in at the end. M: Quite bland and low carbonation. O: Not my beer. It’s just like a regular pilsener, but with a little weird but quite a bland taste. I’m just don’t get why this is so highly rated.I know many better beers which are half the price. I prefer their white/wheat bears.

VALIS (210) - Nashua, New Hampshire, USA - FEB 12, 2013
Pours beautifully with a thick, creamy head, very pale golden with a lot of bubbles. Smells like banana and malt. Taste is shockingly light and flavorless with a pleasant, malty aftertaste. I assume this is a type of beer that people chug from those huge mugs in German beerhalls. It really defines the term "sessionable."
