Just didn’t do it for me. Clear yellow body with white head. Nose was somewhat hoppy with notes of sweetness and spice. A little watery and thin. Flavor was clean and crisp but nothing special.

Clear golden hue, good head formation. Clean malt aroma, slight peppery spice. Sweet lemony flavor, dry hoppy contrast. Pretty simple but well balanced and enhjoyable.

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs), moderately malty (toasted bread/grain), with a note of honey. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A nicely aromatic brew...lots of Hallertauer and rich malt. Tasty, if a little sweet.

Orange gold color, slightly hazy. Medium head. Aroma is malty, fruity. Sweet and grassy. A medium to light bodied helles. Malts are fruity and sweet. Fruity, with orange, apricot and peaches being the primary flavors. Slightly spicy hops. Light and refreshing. Very smooth taste. Nice beer, full of fruity esters and biscuity malts. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth . Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Nice clear golden color,small white head that had a decent hangtime then faded to a small lace.The aroma was lightly malty,lemongrass and bubblegum,fairly sweet with a mild hop presence.The flavor is fairly light as well.Sweet and lightly malty with a bubblegum flavor and maybe some fruit maybe lemongrass maybe some apple.The hops are fairly mild and sunbdued with the other flavors takeing over for them.Not a great brew but it might be easy to get used to after a few of them.Try it once and make your own decision i guess.It’s a fairly light bodied brew that is easy to drink.

If you like a maltier Helles then this is your baby! Nice pillowy head, deep gold color and packed with malt! The more Helles that you drink the more you are able to pick up the subtle differences in each brewery's offerings! This Edel however is not very subtle it is big and creamy! tastes great on draught but 3-4 glasses will put a sway in your step, take it gently! you won't find many quite like this !!

Strangely sweet (as jaymo and JoeM put: ricey and bananaey) - very malty with a super quick hop dryed-out end. I dig the style and the attempt, but malted over the top for me.

Right, never really have dug the style. Too light for my taste, but enough with the background. Very light color with minute bubbles popping and plopping. Smells like wet cardboard or a type of sticky rice in a banana leaf. Tastes much the same way too. Crisp. Clean. Watery. Highly dry mouthfeel. It's very OK.
