Hacker-Pschorr Münchner Hell

Shortlived white head over metallic golden beer. Dry grainy nose, chaff, straw, and apparently devoid of hops? Very grainy, slightly malty taste, unremarkable. Watery, empty palate, CO² nearly offering all the flavour. It’s drinkable... after a forced march through the desert.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is light malt, "green" hop, grass and pine. Flavour is clean crisp malt, nice hop bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold, small head. Nose isslight sweet malt . Well carbonated on the palate, and just a bit bitter at the end. Ok.

Bottle brown, 500 ml,11.5 P.
Appearance: Pours beautiful regular golden, not perfectly clear, quite lively carbonated body, head is snowy white, freshly looking, pillowy, frothy, leaving really good lacing, initially head is quite big in size, slowly decreasing to small but very firm and long lasting.
Aroma: Very nice and fresh citrous-hoppy and strongly aromatic top, very well pronounced notes of orange, clementine, lime, smoe notes of lemon, gooseberry, pineapple, overally very soft, very nice sweetish malty base hidden under the refreshing fruity domination.
Flavour: Front is very mild and soft also in termos of body carbonation, this pleasant texture reminds me of some light bitters, gentle, fresh, crisp malty sweetness towards the tip of the tongue and the accompaining citrous, clementine, orange, lime, lemon, gooseberry, pineapple accents in nose. Finish duration is short to medium, there are some scents of malty sweetness in the aftertaste and weak notes of yeast.
Palate: Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation on palate is moderate to calm, finish feel is very clean, noble, pure with shy notes of yeast and gentle crispy-malty saltyness.

Clear golden with a large white head leaving laces. Aroma had malt, hints of caramel and hops. The fairly fruity flavour was had notes of grain, caramel and hints of grassy hops. Finished light bitter.

10.06.2007, 0,5l Bottle. Yellow colour with white head. Aroma is malty with a hoppy finish.Nice bitterness.Body is medium to thin.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts mild, fine spicy but with a disturbing sourish note in the background. That’s why the beer is not very drinkable. Okay, but not more.

This really doesn’t smell all that good. The flavor is just about the same. A bit funky, a dry finish, but overall not too tasty.
