Comments: Simple again, effervescent and rather crisp helles with a certain mineral backbone and a lean dry palate.

Yellow colored, slightly hazy appearance. Medium sized white head. Clean lager aroma with malts and mild yeast, hints of lemon also there. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is the same: lemon and yeast, stil crispy palate. Aftertaste dries strongly with yeast. Does not differ very radically from pilsner.
