Aug 7, 2005 Color is a clean and clear sunny lemon yellow. Soft puffy glimmering white cap about medium thickness sits atop. Keeps a slender skimming and collar. Slow and soft carbonation rises within its golden glow. Minimal lacing in very thin strings.
Aroma favors a clean and refreshing grassy lemon candy with a slight starchy stiffness to its sweetenss.
Taste is quite nice here. I like these simple little German lager beers for summertime drinkin’ and this one hits the spot. Tender sweetness abounds with a bready melted softness. Slimming tendencies of lemon/citric candy and a bright but mildly firm carbonation sits just right. Middle is melon-like. A grassy edge is created nearer the finish with a bit of dryish spicyness of Saaz-like hops. A bit of floralness plays in the finish as well.
Feel is clean, crisp, and smooth. Nice and quick creamy medium body. Malts play a big part with bready sweetness and candyfied goodness. Balance is good too. Hops create a nice grassy edge and drying spiced finish.
One fantastic Munich style Helles lager. I have yet to run in to one I haven’t liked from Germany and this one is no different. Yum. Its only downfall is its 5.5% ABV- it does catch up to ya after a few pretty quickly as it goes down way too damn easily. Mow em if ya got em and drink up.

Jul 20, 2005 Pours light golden color with a one finger head. Very effervescent. Light bready malt nose. A little thicker, creamier malty taste than a Pils, although not heavy by any means. A touch of lime in the taste as well. A very slight metallic aftertaste. Each quaff was loaded with bubbles. A very enjoyable beer - good for the summer heat.

Jul 17, 2005 Not too much aroma here. Found the beer to be very drinkable, if not loaded with flavor. Quite light on the hops, making for a very smooth taste. This beer would be great on a hot afternoon here in Texas.
