50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grassy and cornish. Medium dry malt flavoured, light crisp bitterness. Ends medium dry and refreshing.

This is no Kolsch, nor does it ever pretend to be. I’m not sure where that came from. It is a hell, simple and plain. I mean that quite literally, this walks right down the middle for the style - a little malt, but not too much; a touch of dryness, but only a touch. Lacking in assertiveness, this would be okay as a quick pint after work, but not much else.

(500ml bottle) Crystal clear straw body with medium white head. Aroma is medium sweet, cookie dough, some floral, fruity. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some floral, fruity, light herbal/grassy. Watery light body, some crispness. Not bad, just generic.

Thanks Lars. It is light golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of straw, grass, malt and hints of cabbage. The flavour has a light sweetness and light notes of citrus, grass, straw, malt, hints of cabbage and the finish is refreshing with a fine bitterness.

Bottle. Fresh malty, slightly grassy aroma. Malty, hay-like,slightly chalky flavor with some citrus and vanilla. Quite complex and tasty helles.

Pours pale golden with a small, fizzy, white head that soon disappears. Aroma is grassy, some sweet bready malts. Light citric. Medium carbonation, rather fat and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, bready malts, fine grassy bitterness. Light, lingering citric zest and fine dryness. A good bottled Helles.
