330ml bottle from Bavarian Brauhaus, Glasgow (£3.80):
Quite a disappointing & poor beer overall, this one was very basic from the start & beyond some light malts & subtle lager hops there wasn't really much going on here. Some spices showed at times & a few hints of cereal & hay showed around the middle but it's certainly not one I'd go for again.

Pours as golden as its name indicates, with a solid, froth head.
Smells of sugared lime zest and sun bathed wheat, entangled into toffee.
Has a soft, light mouthfeel with a pleasant, well nuanced carbonation.
Tastes of a pleasant, dough soothed herbal quality, sweetened by soft wheat. Turns very sweet during midpalate with caramel malts and a light effervescence. Finishes smooth and light with an enjoyable dry note taming the sweetness.
Well done Helles, lacking a little in hop balance, tasty nontheless, especially due to its pleasant mouthfeel.

As it suggests, the body is pure gold in color, with a fluffy, 1/2 finger head on top that leaves generous lacing as it recedes slowly.
Aromas of honey, wood, and pils malt. I'm guessing Perle hops, as well.
A light, crisp flavor with honey, a touch of medicine, and a crisp saaz hop finish. I'm guessing the base malt is a mix of pils and Gambrinus, it's got that signature stiff honey flavor.
Feel is crisp and semi-clean, with a hint of dryness on the finish.
Overall, like most Stiegl beers, it's not bad at all, just not groundbreaking. I'd have it again, sure.

I am a fan of lagers, but this may be the king of all german-related brews. I have had it in can and on tap and think it is the beer other lagers should look up to. Great taste, clean, smoothe and smells like beer should. Praise Salsburg for this gem

Crystal clear with a light gold color. Moderate head that lasts. Some streaks for lace.
Clean aroma of mildly toasted malt. Attractive.
The taste falls short of the nose. More grainy on the tongue. The carbonation is very high and the body is a little light. There is little hop. And there's nearly no aftertaste. Disappointing after the smell.

If you looking for a Grain Belt Premium only.... imported this is your beer. Pours golden with thick head of almond. The smell was like that of a run of the mill american lager. And i am pretty sure if I was to taste it side by side with a Grain Belt it would be identical in taste. That is to say its quite malt forward with a little bit of caramel to it and yes... refreshing and good overall feel about it. Not what I would call a craft beer but not terrible ... also not note worthy either.
