| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 28, 2008 Bottle and served in a standard pint glass: lean golden hue with a frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of pear esters, bready Vienna malts, a hint of honey and corn, and some herbal hop vapours. The taste displays a moderate sweet bread malt along with a dash of twangy fruit and a dry and metallic hop finish. The mouth feel is sprite yet still soft, almost too dry for maximum refreshment. Solid enough brew. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 23, 2008 I’m not a fan of Helles beers, or lagers in general. That said, this wasn’t bad. I just don’t prefer all the malts in them. This had a nice balance between malts and hops, and an appealingly light flavor. VERY sessionable. keoki182 (305), West Bend, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Bavarian Lager gets some points for doing a difficult style (Dortmunder), but to me it’s pretty much average in every way. Light grassy aroma. light yellow appearance. Light grassy flavor. I didn’t notice much in the way of hops. Just not my cup of tea. JK (2961), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 10, 2007 A bit light for a helles but an ok beer anyway. Gold in color and there is a white head. Good malt flavor and hop balance, almost like a Bohemian pilsner. Saaz hops maybe? naivepegasus (189), USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Pours a cloudy amber with light head. A soft bitter hop odor. The taste is soft and clean, but hits with a slight malt taste that is matched with a hop aftertaste. A drinkable beer, but there are still better Dortmunders out there.
