I've only drunk HB bier at the Hofbrau Haus in München (Munich) and it is excellent. I can't give a more technical review, but it is very tasty and worth drinking! Very tasty!

Not the best Helles out of Munich but usually the easiest to come by. Reminds me of my time living and enjoying the life of Bavaria!

Serving Type: 500 mL Bottle
L- Pours a crystal clear pale golden topped by a 1/2 finger of white head. Good retention with light patchy lacing.
S- Faint aroma of grain and a slight hop spiciness. A touch of apple mixed in as well.
T- Very similar to the aroma. Crisp and clean taste of grain, bready malts, and finished off with spicy hops. Well balanced flavour!
F- Light-Medium body with a crisp moderate carbonation. Perfect for the style.
O- Hofbrau Original is classic, extremely well done example of the Munich Helles Lager. It has a crisp, clean aroma and taste, and is extremely easy drinking. Ideal for on a hot summers day, but great for any day if I'm going to be honest here!

On-tap @ Tap Room at Somerset Hills Hotel in Warren, NJ.
Pale gold with that classic Munich Helles brilliant clarity and frothy white head. Grainy pils malt and spicy noble hop aroma. A little sulfur/DMS as well. Bready and grainy malt flavor, but maybe a touch too heavy with the the spicy hops. Bitter and dry finish. Pretty sharp and biting for a Helles, it could benefit from being a little softer.

From the bottle, it pours a golden color with a small head, soon reducing to a ring with islands. I get grass and light malt in the nose. The mouth gets a clean light malt flavor with no aftertaste.
