May 29, 2008 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Tastes spicy, not dry, a little bit like a landbier, wheaty finish. Not bad!

May 3, 2008 (bottle) clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white head. Sweet slightly bready malty nose with light notes of sour dough and light spicy hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a medium carbonation. Solid, slightly bready malty base with a tinge of honey and light herbal notes; moderately sweet, slightly bitter malt-accented finish with a light but balancing herbal hops-character (03.05.08).

Jun 9, 2007 Deep yellow-orange metallic beer, heavily carbonated to medium, fine yellowish head. Sweet, even bready, glue, very like the Alt Fränkisch, probably very specific yeast. Sweetish, bready, with a dry, hayish finish. Some extremely discreet, but very noble hops. Also a fine spring honey flavour. Very much grist slickness, medium bodied; markedly "heavier" than most Hellers. Not a super Pilsener, but a super Vollbieer. Actually one of the nicest sweetish Hellers I’ve ever encountered. Thanks to Alt Frankie and her crew!

Aug 17, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Pale, pilsener golden with a huge and handsome head, that laces my glass. Loads of malt sweetness, extremely soft mouthfeel on a malty background and an almost absent bitterness. Very smooth, classical Helles. 170805
