Uh, yeah. Wow. So, this smells heavenly. Starts with some light lagerish notes, then citrus and cheerios. Yeast and rice cakes. Yum! Color is a beautiful gold color, slightly cloudy. Huge, huge head. Flavor is sweet bread. Big taste, and clean. Wow, for the longest time, lagers scared me, but now, with a couple Dort/Helles under my belt, I’m converted. I don’t think it can get much better than this, though. Only thing I’d change is give it a bit more body. Still, damn fine.

In the bottle at the Huber Haus. Lemon aroma. Good yeasty aroma as well. Pours a cloudy gold after you shake up the large chunks of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. Poofy pillowy white head. Flavor is predominantly sweet. Midpoint is a mild smooth palate. Finishes with a nice little bitter bite. Delicious.

Hazy gold with lively carbonation and a towering creamy head, this is an impressive brew to behold. The aroma is caramel and toffee sweet with floral and orange hop scents. Medium-bodied, it has a rich malty flavor with some grassiness, all balanced out with a solid hopping. Nice, nice.

Pours orange and has spicy sediment like the Westy 8. The head is creamy and the carbonatoin is wonderful to . look at The smell has wheat, caramel. malts, citrus and plum in it. The taste has those same qualties plus a unique maltiness which I have never experienced in a Helles before. I think this blows the Jahrhundert away in terms of the taste because it is malty versus coppery. The citrus citrus at the end is juicy and has a nice touch. Very good.

Beautiful unfiltered dark amber, full of bubbles. Huge foamy head. Aroma is malt and yeast, making you want to drink it. Tastes of hops and malt, pronounced yeast. Makes me think of an old Bavarian hoffbrau, with mustachioed men in leiderhosen, their huge tankards topped off from a barrel and clanked together, busty beermaids, and cuckoo clocks. Oh, hell. Just try it, it’s a really good beer.

Bottle. Orange/brown in colour. Aroma was slightly sweet, some caramel malt, bread and grassy hops. Flavour was of wheat, caramel malts, some citrus, grassy hops and earth. Medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a citrus bitterness. Not bad. Thanks Steve.

I really don’t know anything about this style of beer, but this one definitely has grown on me since I had it. I’ve revisited it a few times in my mind and would like to get some more to have on hand for sure. Orange amber with what began as a big white head and ended up as a thin coating and some nice lacing. Bready and grassy at first and then a fresh hoppiness too. Good mouth-coating feel and carbonation. Some citrus and maybe some caramel, but definitely something a little sweet make an appearance and it lingers just nicely. Very drinkable.

1 pint .9oz bottle - Aroma is clean and a touch grassy with hints of candy bar sweetenss and chocolate bread. Tarnished brown gold color with alot of action inside brimming to the surface a large, quick-to-grow, bone white head of foam. Lacing sticks in minimal spots and strings while keeping a pretty solid skim on top. Once the bubbles settle down, upon closer view, there’s a ton of floaties inside creating its brownish murk thats bending the light inside dulling its glare because of it. Quite interesting...hmmm...I wonder what that means to the taste if anything. Taste is fantastic for the style, not that I’ve had many, but wow does this stuff have a wonderful flavor of chocolate malting and sweetness. I swear I was drinking a porter...but this is yellow? What gives? Yum is what gives! OK, so there’s more to it then that, but I’m loving that candy bar/chocolate bread thing goin’ on in this. There’s some slight grassy Hallertua and/or Saaz-like hop zip, some crunchy bread crusts drizzled with honey, and some very finely cared for caramel and vanilla notes. But the chocolate, oh the chocolate is amazing. Its not thick really, its just there in a well mannered and smooth toned faction that really takes this stuff to a whole nother level of appreciation. Not sure if this was bottled wrong or something, but what ever it is or whatever they did, it needs to be done again...and again. Are those floaties tiny dustings of chocolate malts? The overall feel is quite smooth and renders a solid medium body with a small herbal-like hoppy touch and succulant carbonation all wrapped up in a chocolate bread dough sweetness. This is and will be a new must-have-around-all-the-time beer. And at only 5.1% its drinkability is outstandingly sessionable. Great stuff! Hope the next bottles I buy are exactly like it...please...no off bottling...please.
