Pale amber, very clear. Leaves very little to no head after pouring. The aroma is very defined with caramel malts, butterscotch notes and mild grass. The taste reveals a more grassy character, very bitter in the finish which is damp and long. Medium body, with pleasantly fizzy carbonation. Interesting beer.

Charming beer, very local and authentic. Nice look, remarkably drinkable. offers a nice pour with a good head. One of the nicer Helles you can find in Bavaria.

Clear golden color with slightly off-white head. Aroma has fresh malt, bread crust and a light nuttiness. Taste follows with fresh baked bread, crackers, a bit of honey and some nutty bitterness on the finish. Medium body without a medium to light carbonation. Quite nice, tasty helles.

Gold, rich dense head. Lacing all the way to finish. Great upfront balance of light hoppy bursts mixed with rich malt that I would expect from a Hells. Mouthfeel is balanced between the hops and malt, no alcohol tinge, no carbonation to drown out the flavor, just right, finishing clean with a slight burst of hops bitterness, slightly sweet and not cloying. I see why this won a World Beer Cup Gold for the type. Perfect 11 am beer on a warm summer day in the bier garden. I am glad I stopped by to try this.

Full golden, beautif hat of white foam, creamy. Very clean, without bubbles.
The smell is quite fresh, delicate, with some touches of hop.
Similar taste, with good hop notes. Still malty, but with a good balance.
Average to light in body.
Short aftertaste, malty start, and hop finish.
