| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Deep burnished golden with a big sudsy white head showing decent retention and leaving some early lace. Clean grainy aroma with soft floral and grassy hop undertones. Clean pale malts, biscuity and slightly papery. Finish is soundly bitter and dry. Carbonation is crisp and brisk. An excellent lager that was the perfect companion to my meal of salty/spicy lamb sausages. lithy (1700), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2009 12oz, 07/08 production, in bordeaux glass. Pours brilliant gold with medium white head. Rich malt nose, a wisp of noble hops, and the faintest vanishing skunkiness. Malty, crackery, and hints of green herbs - avoids that mealy legume thing that a lot of Pils-based beers can have. Clean and balanced. This will become my source of at-home Hellesy goodness since Spaten Premium is a green-bottle mess. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA
