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.

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.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a small, rocky, white head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, hay, straw, meal), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (sweat, earth, musty) with notes of potato. Light bodied, mineral texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness and acidity, moderate bitterness.

Jan 14, 2009 Fruity hay spicy nose. Deep gold color and soapy head. Spicy honey sweetness with a great bitter balance. Full carbonation, lighter body, crisp fruity finish. Just a very solid anytime beer...this is a classic.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottled, 500ml swing top, from Westholm Stores, Goring, Oxon. Hazed gold with white head. Quite a yeasty, bready sweet lager, some light hop notes, restrained, quite grainy with hints of caramel. Overall fairly reasonable.
