0,5 l bottle dated 22.11.23, “Helles Landbier”. The massive beer store just outside of Stuttgart had a section for local/smaller breweries so I figured I’d try a few. And this was a good choice! Pours cloudy with one of the best noses I’ve experienced in a while. Yeasty, fruity, almost juicy flavor and feel. A hearty brew but easy to drink. A delicious Helles that I would buy again.

Pours a semi clear yellow with soft, fluffy head.

Smell is bready and a bit yeasty, crisp and clean. Notes of citrus, knäckebröd and hints of wheat and lemon peel.

Taste is bready and a bit spicy. Crisp with notes of citrus, rye, knäckebröd and a solid bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice, clean lager.

Mothers Sunshine! From the small bottle, it pours an ever so slightly hazy yellow golden color with a nice large white head that slowly reduces in a classic way. In the nose, it is clean, fresh and a bit malty. The mouth revels in the light malt flavor with a touch of hops. Yum!

2022 update: Yum!
