Geiserich (1536), Vienna, Austria Jun 23, 2005 Draught at the brewpub Fresh, light hoppy aroma. Fresh, light malty Helles. Light astringent finish with dry hop notes. Medium bitter finish. Good drinkable but nothing special. Gazza (720), Worcester, Worcestershire, England Mar 29, 2004 A fairly plain beer, one for drinking in quantity, but a superb example of Helles - pale, hoppy and a biscuity malt body. Easy to drink and very moreish, lovely stuff. (on draught in brewpub) omhper (10438), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 19, 2004 Sampled draught at the brewpub.
Lightly cloudy golden, rich head. Grassy and densely malty with salty bitter finish. Simple, but very pleasant.
