500 ml bottle poured into my large Gulden Draak tulip, Barock-Hell is chill hazed dark gold with larger white head, large bubbled with decent last and pretty heavy lace.

Smell is sweet cereal grains, with some honey and flowers.

Taste is damn good, crisp, fresh grains, pleasantly but not overly sweet. Kind of simple, but wow is this tasty and well made.

Mouthfeel is very creamy, light bodied.

Drinkability is high, this is an awesome lager. Wow, I don't drink many lagers, but in the last few days I've had some of the best I've ever had...one local, and this one from Bavaria, pretty much the opposite side of the world. The only ding on drinkability is this isn't the cheapest, by the bottle, although it was honestly pretty much the same price as the draft keller bier I was referring to from Deschutes.

On tap: pours a caramel colour, thin head after pour. Taste is sweet, almost like Juicy Fruit in beer form. Good for the style, not as heavy as a doppelbock but still hits the spot.

November 2007: 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 5.6%. Contract brewed for Weltenburger Kloster by Brauerei Bischofshof in Regensburg. Crystal clear and very pale golden colour, huge and lasting white head. Moderate sweetish aroma of flowers and honey. Smooth and soft flavour of pilsener malts, moderate fruity and honey sweetness, very moderate hops. Drinkable of course, but not very exciting.

Ya, the smell is not anything special here. Taste is typical for the style, with wheat, banana, and pear flavors. The look is generic, except for the head, which is very compact and fluffy. The mouthfeel is the winner here. Very syrupy for a 5.6 beer and the head is DELICIOUS--so fluffy and soft. A nice one to drink on the regular, if only the price were more local than import...

Light amber in color and somewhat hazy. Ripened peach, green apple and pear as well as gum sweetness. Has a honey sweetness with more light fruits, some biscuit crust and a faintly herbal denouement. Medium in body, smooth and soft. Never can tell how long these imports have been sitting around and where but this one triumphs in the satisfaction department even though it's a little sweet in spots.

Clear golden color with white head.Aroma is mostly focused on earthy/leafy hop notes with a clean malt background. Taste is astringent, grainy, slightly tart, hoppy with a light to medium bitterness and dry finish. Medium body and carbonation. Quite smooth yet dry lager, really well brewed and easy drinking.

I've had my fair share from Weltenburger-Kloster and have never been disappointed. This is no exception. Pours a perfectly clear golden straw color with a fine bubbled bone white head that leaves some remnants of lacing. Smells of sweet bread, yeast, and just a touch of spicy noble hops. Taste follows perfectly with such a subtle presence of each element. Feel is so crisp, nice carbonation, dry and inviting enough to constantly demand another sip. Overall, this is an outstanding Helles lager. One that I wish I could buy by the case to enjoy all spring and summer long. Prost!
