Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England Jan 31, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o’s. A typical german helles, drinkable but very boring. Pale gold. Sweet, quite grainy and cereal. Nothing to interest me here.
SilkTork (3943), Rochester, Kent, England Jul 7, 2008 500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Boring, thin, slightly soapy. Few hops. Chemical cereal flavours. There’s little here to commend this. It’s drinkable, but not very nice. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 8, 2007 Considering the style, Scores ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most intense

Comments: A very grainy, bready, simple helles that comes across as overly sweet and boring.
duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Nov 6, 2007 Bottle. Quite clean and crisp. Palae gold, pale malt sweetness, some ight grassy hops. Its drinkable i suppose, but deadly boring. Light fizz. ChristianScheffel (2263), Odense, Denmark Aug 21, 2007 Pale yellow with a medium sized white head. Grainy malt aroma. Rather sweet malty flavour, nothing exciting.
