yespr (6259), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 24, 2008 50 cL bottle, trade with kappldav123. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Smooth malty and cornish aroma with a mild acidity. Sweet caramel malty and light bitterness coming through. Mild bitterness and light alcohol presence. Bitter into the far finish yet still smooth. kappldav123 (973), Markkleeberg, Germany Dec 11, 2007 Gehört zu den schlechtesten Bieren, die ich bisher getestet habe. Der Nachgeschmack geht ja überhaupt nicht, eine absolute Katastrophe. Eine sehr unangenehme Würze, viel zu übertrieben. Gr0ve (1088), Oslo, Norway Dec 29, 2006 500 ml bottle. Orange golden colour. Clear with a medium-sized white head. Nutty sweet malty aroma. Very clean. Distinct, but still gentle, bitterness. Mellow maltiness. Caramel. Sweet flavours, but not that sweet as the hop bitterness balances most of it out. Finishes mostly bitter, but from low alpha acid hops. Nothing special, but a nice easy-drinking bock. larsga (2141), Oslo, Norway Nov 16, 2006 Offwhite shiny medium head. Light orange body with carbonation. Milky, caramelly aroma with faint earth and paper notes. Sweet, papery, caramelly taste with dry background. Quite good, and clearly well made, but not very complex. (0.5l bottle.) KnutAlbert (2174), Oslo, Norway Nov 16, 2006 Thanks to larsga for sharing this one. Light amber, smells of yeast. A little smoky and malty aroma, but I found this strangely thin for a beer this strong.
But should a helles have amber colour?
