extremely boring, but very clean and refreshing. I should order this in a larger quantity if I am able to find it that way. Bottle at 2nd Annual Treasure Coast Beerfest in Ft. Pierce, Fla.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a medium white head. Aroma is light and slightly sweet with some hints of dry grass. Flavor is sweet and malty at the beginning with a dry grass and slightly metallic hint in the middle. Finish is dry and bitter.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, got it in Munchen.
Appearance: Pours bright golden, shiny, beautiful and impressive, perfectly clear body, body is very well saturated, carbonation is lively and working for a long time, head is snowy white, initially big, decreasing to small after quick period of time and than lasting firmly for a long time, forthy, leaving nice lacing, texture of the body is characteristically oily as for a typical Helles.
Aroma: Notes of aromatic herbal hoppy top, some notes of lemon and lime, mild and sweetish malty background, some notes of grains but not that pronounced as in German Pilseners, rather not sophisticated and not complex, very streight forward and characteristic of its style, refreshing, again mild and inviting to drinking.
Flavour: Very nice, soft, sweetish, malty frony, some aromatic, fresh, herbal hops are going after highly salty and mineral not only due to its mineral water profile but also due to a high amount of carbon dioxide, interesting and quite easy going, well pronounced flavour of a helles with moderate finish duration, notes of wax.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is rather watery, slightly oily, carbonation on palate is lively, finish feel is sweetish, slightly grainy, clean, mineral, I still find Andechser Hell and Hacker Pschorr Helle better than this one.

Pale straw colour with a thin white head. The nose is clean and crackery with a distinctly minerally crackery note. Lean and crisp. It’s simple but it’s pleasant enough. Quaffable.

bottle: pale, light straw yellow with thin, if foamy, white head. Grassy, yeasty arouma. Smooth, taste. Mildly sweet hops, with some vegetal notes, but not too bad. Well balanced bitterness from the hops. Mouthfeel is a little slippery and medium bodied.

Bottle poured into a pilsner glass produced a thin, off-white, fizzy head with golden yellow body. Very light, clean finish that didn’t linger. I very pleasant lager to enjoy.

12 oz bottle. Golden pour with a medium white fizzy head. Aroma of hops and grass. Full bodied taste of malt and faint yeast. Refreshing lager.
