Mahrs Bräu Hell

Brewed by Mahrs Bräu
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Bamberg, Oberfranken/Bayern, Germany

Bottle. Grassy, lightly citric nose with a faint yeast-wisp. Slightly hazy yellow pour with a short off-white head. Taste is strongly bitter with some hard hopping and wood, astringent but not redeeming, sweet pale malt and a touch of lemon, most of the grassy notes departed. Touch of hay, very nice chalky character. Medium body. Ok.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel notes. Sweet flavor with caramel malt notes. Ends sweet.

Bottled On date of 0710; Sampled July 2008
A brisk pour produces only a thin, pale white colored head. The aroma is at first pretty light struck, but this dissapates to a lightly herbal hop note after a bit. A light sweetness from the malt character contributes something a touch like honey and there is a nice, dry, toasty grain character reminiscent of crushed saltine crackers. A hint of lemon zest rounds out the mostly herbal hop aromatics here.

Cool and fizzy the beer has a bitting carbonic note to it up front and is quite crisp from the cool serving temperature. This finishes with a nicely noticeable, bitter hop bite. Fairly light bodied, but does have some viscous malt body to it. A touch of lemon zest again combines with an herbal hop flavor and a touch of grassy / hay notes; this last from both the hop and the malt components. A hint of malt sweetness becomes a bit more noticeable as the beer warms up, but mostly the malt character takes on cracker-like and light, toasty grain notes.

Not a bad beer, probably not at its peak condition after traveling across the pond, but still quite quaffable.

draft..clear light gold pour. decent white head , some lacing. aroma of dough and pepper.crisp pills malt taste and lightly spicy hops.light and refreshing but well balanced and flavorful.

(GERMAN) Pours a hazy orange color with a dissipating sm-white head. This brew has a flowery / spicy aroma with a clean crisp taste with a hint of honey !!! There was some sediment in the bottle, It was well balanced, good stuff, i would drink another !!!!

Draft at the brewery in Bamberg. Clear gold with a nice off-white head. Clean, carbonated, spritzy, light to medium body. Nice cracker and dough flavor, soft overall. Clean pils cracker malts all over this thing, but light. A bit of a twang in the finish. Simple and straightforward but refreshing and tasty.

From tap at the brewery. Warm golden with a huge, nice head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and hops. The flavour is smooth and nice with notes of caramel, malt and a refreshing hoppy bitterness. My husband said: This one really asks me to drink it - and I agree, it’s really nicely balanced.

Bottle in some Glasga Pub ... Crisp golden yellow ... lager nose ... just alager a good one but a lger none the less.
