Brauerei Gasthof Rittmayer "Hallerndorfer Landbier Hell"
,5L brown glass bottle, coded "Best before 07.05.26 17:04:N". Sampled on 27.11.25
€6 @ L'Artigianale Beer Shop, Verona, IT
Look: Slightly hazy golden body beneath a short head of white foam.
Smell: Malty with some minor herbal and spicy hops backed by a light whiff of fruitiness.
Taste: Grainy and bready malt is infused with an apple-like fruitiness and some grassy, herbal, and softly spicy hops. A firm bitterness balances it and brings it to a dry conclusion.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp.
Overall: Not the best beer I've had from this brewery but acceptable.

500ml fliptop bottle in Nürnberg. I was very surprise to see that this beer is listed as a Helles. Just because the work Hell is in it does not make it a Helles. A northern Bavarian Landbeer is a Kellerbeer. Anyway poured a golden mostly clear color with slight bubbles. Aroma is spicey and malts come through. Taste surprises your with tart and a little biterness. Longlasting aftertaste while not unpleasant but anoying.

De Tercertiempocervezas. En copa de hefe de Weihenstephander. Leyendo Blazor in Action. Helles con buen cuerpo, elevada bebestibilidad y un bien ajustado amargor al final del trago que incita a seguir bebiendo

Golden blonde, clean, ok white foam.
Malty and cereal smell, with the right rawness.
Same for the taste, malty, with even some fresh spicy notes.
Fresh, pleasant, fresh hop.
Very drinkable.

500ml bottle - I believe that I've only once ever had a 'landbier' before, and yep, it was from a small German brewery.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with two zaftig fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some splendid spooky tree branch lace around the glass as it genially subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, subtle pome fruity notes, a small hard water flintiness, some ephemeral earthy yeastiness, and weak leafy, weedy, and dead floral noble green hop bitters. The taste is some bready and very cereal-forward pale malt graininess, faint overripe apple and pear skin, an increasing white and black pepper spiciness, generic tea tannins, and more earthy, leafy, and musty verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite effusive in its engaging frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really caring to interfere here, as such. It finishes off-dry, the cereal component of the malt really possessing some lingering chutzpah!
Overall, this is an enjoyable enough Teutonic lager offering, one which differs from the style assigned it here by a simple plainness of being - and I don't mean that as an insult. Easy to drink, and actually quite refreshing in its springtime-worthy sessionability.

From the bottle, it pours a golden color with a small head, quickly reducing to virtually nothing. Pleasant nose with some breadiness. The taste is malt and a bit of hops. Nice!

Half litre bottle, poured into over sized Tripel Karmeliet tulip.
A: Golden, clear, large rocky head, decent retention, some lacing.
S: Not overly pronounced but combined slight Saaz hop with a
small hint of grass. At times it was reminiscent of a Fernsehpils.
T: The hop bitterness was balanced out by some orangey malty sweetness, bready
finish.
M: Minimal to moderate amount of carbonation, slightly heavy body.
O: An easy drinker, fairly subtle, wouldn’t get rave reviews
from a hard core hop head but perfectly acceptable.
