austone (580), Turku; Pori, Finland Dec 1, 2008 Sparkling golden, foaming pale head. Nose is neutral, little cardboardy malts and hayish hops. Dull. Hayish flavor, honey, malts and alcohol. Quite crisp, but still plain boring. Light bodied, strong carbonation. Slightly better than basic bulk, but just very sterile. MoritzF (4019), Ruhrpott, Germany Nov 3, 2008 (bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Moderately sweet, slightly dusty strawy malty nose ´with a touch of dough. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy mf. Strawy, malt-accented taste; rather dry sweet-bitter finish.

Grainy malt nose, bit of honey and floral hops, nothing wrong but not alot happening. Reasonable carbonation, slightly thin body and texture. More grainy malt on the body, bit bready and corn-like, bit of spicy hops towards a dry, medium bitter finish. Average sort of quaffing German Helles, unremarkable at best.
