Cerveza de color amarillo pálido con una cabeza blanca densa. En su aroma se distingue la malta, el pan y algunas notas herbáceas. En boca es ligera y amarga, con una intensidad suave.

Very nice. Strawberry-lemongrass taste with a light golden color--and a GREAT mouthfeel. Not much head or lacing, but this is a CLASSIC German beer. The kind my German grandpa always had in stock. Smell could be a bit more interesting but besides that it's a solid 4 rating overall.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance- The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades rather fast to leave a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell- The aroma of the brew is biggest of caramel and some cereal malts. Along with these smells are some light toasted aromas and a bit of earth and grass hop and a hint of citrus.
Taste – The taste begins with a slightly grainy, light caramel, and bready taste that has hints of some earthiness upfront. As the flavor profile advances some light lemon and citrus as well as more caramel tastes come to the tongue. In the end one is left with a rather grainy bread taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is just above average in thickness and normal in carbonation. For the flavor profile being more malt based and somewhat grainy the feel is fantastic overall and makes for an easy drinking brew.
Overall – This is a nice easy drinking bready brew. A good summer to winter transition brew.

Hofbrau Original bottle at 40F poured into a simple glass in
August, 2018. Fairly thin head over a golden body. Taste is initially spritzy carbonation, but comes on with a beery malt body with a good dose of noble hop bitterness. Nice balanced aftertaste. Pretty good. I might like a maltier Munich Helles.

Pours a robust clear gold with a finger and half of creamy white head

Head is all light maltiness...I'm not getting much else

Taste is very balanced and nuanced. There is of course the malt, a bit of earthiness, and just the slightest bit of lemon citrus. All is delicate and playing well together.

Nice mouthfeel....it is full bodied, but very drinkable. Low/moderate carbonation, with a dry finish....I can see why it is ordered by the liter. Could drink all day.

Look: Not-quite-gold pale yellow with a decent white head.

Smell: Slightly skunky yeast, sweet malt, crisp citrus.

Taste: Mild yeasty malt, some pepper, a bit of metallic bitterness on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Fairly thick and decently carbonated.

Overall: I'm not too big of a fan of this. I think it could do with some cleaner, crisper flavors and less of a yeasty sourdough note.
