pivnizub (3770), Porúří, Germany Jul 14, 2008 Bottle (Dank an Jonas !): Golden, small persistent white foam; solid sweet pale-malty nose with a light grassy background; malty body, moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; solid malty-bitter finish. A good, chewy brew.......... kappldav123 (948), Markkleeberg, Germany Jul 3, 2008 Big thanks to joss for the beer! The bottle looks not bad. The beer in the glass also, but the foam disappears really fast. Starts hoppy and modest dry, becomes washy in the end. A good festbier should be more spicy. Only average! motelpogo (4111), Plzen, Czech Republic Sep 16, 2007 bottled. light golden with an egg white head. fresh and grassy aroma, a light hit of alcohol, some peachy malt and a curious mustard tinge in the finish MoritzF (3690), Ruhrpott, Germany Nov 15, 2005 (bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a foamy white medium head with bubbles. Malty aroma with honey and herbal hops. Moderately sweet malty taste, medium bodied, light hoppy and bitter finish. Pretty decent. joss (3108), Garching b. München, Germany Apr 17, 2004 Updated: Apr 27, 2004Fruity malty nose topped off with aroatic hops.
Deep golden color, the occasional bubble, low lacing head.
Solid sweet malt body, hayish in the middle, finished of woth a subtle portion bittering hops, honey aftertaste.
Full and prickling mouthfeel.
It is a quite decent Helles, but I had hoped they would have been a bit more imaginative and experimental on their birthday beer.
