Ettaler Kloster Edel-Hell

Brewed by Klosterbrauerei Ettal
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Ettal, Germany

bottle, clear golden color with a slight foam head, aromas of honey and lemon, flavor is similiar with some hoppy bitterness, decent beer

Light gold soft white head, good clarity. Grainy malt nose, soft honey. Balanced with just a faint hop bitterness.

Disappointing. Pours a crystal clear dark yellow with medium carbonation and practically no head. Lacing is very minimal. Aroma is grass and sweet malt like a pale lager....yummmm. Taste is like just like Cheerios: a sort of dry oat and bread taste. Overall a little too sweet. Only briefly can you taste a hint of balancing hops. It is refreshing but too much like a pale lager. Not for me.

Pours a pale golden with an OK fluffy white head that coats the glass here and there. Classic pale lager aroma of sweet malt and mown grass. Taste is sugar water upfront followed by pale malt and some mild hoppiness. Pretty good but just a little too sweet.

Shared this one with my friend Gyurke in Wiesbaden. Pours a clear golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and a touch of flowers. Flavor is kinda sweet to start, citrusy finish with some hop notes.

Bottle. Sweet citrus and light lemongrass nose, nice clean hoppiness. Clear, very pale yellow body with a sparkling, fluffy bright white head. Creamy with some vanilla and light bitterness. Lighter-bodied than I like my Helle, but the malt is solid, the citrus and grassy overtones meld together well, and in the end there’s an undeniable feeling of satisfaction. Clean and super refreshing - about as good as you can get!

(Bottle). Aroma is somewhat sweetish vanilla. Pale golden with white head. Taste is very smooth, with sweet breadiness, low bitterness, and a malty finish. Excellent.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Vague hoppy aroma. Flavour starts sweet and mild fruity. Soon goes into a more herb bitterness with a dry flavour. Simple bitter and dry finish. Crisp and clean.
