A bright export beer, sparkling and fresh at the same time, brewed with noblest raw materials. This high-class product of the Old Bavarian brewing art. A great treat for every beer expert.

An excellent German lager, but taste & smell just aren't up there with the bigger names. A good, but expensive change of pace, however. It's just a tad light in the malt & hops flavor department, but worth a try.

I've spent a couple afternoons in the Munich Augustiner biergarten. I've also tried dozens of beers labeled 'Helles' by regional US midwest breweries that never quite approached the taste of a Munich helles. It ain't a cheap import beer, but it scratches that itch to taste something similar to a Munich helles.

Nice floral lager, acacia is definitely present, need to be had ice cold though, otherwise it's not that good shame I'm not that much a fan of cold beer

330 ml bottle poured into a mug.
Bottled 4/17/23

L: Brilliant gold, 2 finger white head, foam is dense with areas of larger bubbles, head hangs on for quite a bit and leaves some lace.
S: Light toasted grain and spicy Noble hops.
T: Balanced malt to hop, toasted barley, spicy and floral hops flavor, has hints of white grape, floral hop aftertaste.
F: High carbonation, light crisp feel, chewy, has some light astringency.
O: Nice utility Lager, good table beer, good starter beer, I would love a more fresh sample.

Munich's finest. it's perfect. it's got enough of a flavor profile to enjoy on its own, but also has a very light after taste and light feel which enables you to enjoy with a meal. prost

Poured from a 330ml bottle code L20092228……… ever so slightly hazy nice golden color with very little carbonation. Very very tiny bubbles the sight of a good beer! Nice long lasting lacing. The smell is pleasant with a bit of a citrus note. The taste is wonderful, this is a a great all round beer. This would be a great chugger due to the light carbonation but why would you? This is a beer to savor and enjoy Prost!

Undecipherable date code; drank 6/5/23 @ the Yarchives.

See-through dull orange/yellow appearance.

An even pour yielded a nice white head; frothy lace.

Corn, oak & faint ash notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Sweet corn, mild oak & faint floral notes.

Superior German beer.

A foamy head and generous rings of lacing all down the glass. Aromas a bit muted, but I get mostly lemon citrus, and a hint of cracker malt. The flavour is once again dominates by the very gentle lemon citrus hops character, a ghost of bitterness, and a hint of sweet malt on the long finish. Spritzy carbonation and light but rounded mouthfeel, and it doesn't even touch the sides on the way down. Overall very good stuff.
