Clear golden, medium fluffy head. Grainy, hayish malt aroma with some herbal hops. Medium to light in body, with prickly CO2. Well balanced with a good bitterness in the finish. There is a slight sourness that keeps this one from being a really good helles.

Pours golden in color with a thin white head. The aroma is malty with hints of grain. The taste is just like a pilsener. Very easy to put down.

I enjoyed this beer. Aside from the slightly sour aroma it’s a very refreshing brew. Flavor is well balanced and slightly favors sweetness. It won’t wow you with its complexity, but this beer is a solid choice, especially during these summer months.

(Draught at Haket, Göteborg. Sampled form a friends glass) Shady yellow color, smll white head. Buttery malt scent. Buttery taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Bottle. Slightly skunky smell. Thin head and slight carbonation typical of the style. A slightly sweet malt flavor. Would make a pretty good session beer.

bottle. clear golden color. Nothing too exciting about this one. I can taste some corn, little sweetness at the end. Not terible though

Bottle 500ml. Very nice beer, looks like a golden color and a little head. The aroma is good and flavor is dry, but nice palate. I prefer drink at Hofbrauhaus in München! :) Cerveja muito boa, com uma cor dourada e uma camada certa de espuma. Com um aroma bom e um sabor seco e amargo, mas deixa um gosto bom após uma boa golada. Eu ainda prefiro beber no canecão na própria HofBrauHaus em Munique. :)

I really didn’t like it. Was very very skunked. Not enough hops for me. I would never get it again. Way too sweet.
