Hell
Klosterbrauerei Andechs

Clean gold pour, steady white head. Nose is malty.

Taste shares honey, light kilned malt, fresh hay, mild floral. Mouthfeel is light. Finish is bready with a brief pear snap.

 

 

 

Hazy palest of gold pour along with this whiteish thin and vanishing head. Pleasant ceral grain nose. Easy going down the hatch, as it is Sans any bitter. Agreeable taste, breaded and non resin. Mouthfeel leans towards a session beer. The 4.8% is stretched owing to the generous 500 ml bottle. Good carbonation release. Warming presents. Semi dry finish.

 

 

Another new find, and this one is meh for me. Another very light yellow pour with minimal head and no smell, from a half-liter bottle. Not a great deal of taste either, neither malty nor hoppy. There was a tiny bit of malty, bready sweetness, but that's about it. It's also too expensive to session, though it's certainly easy-to-drink. But I'm used to more flavor from my imports Definitely a one-and-done.

My rating of this beer is not completely fair because I generally do not like a Helles. I bought it without paying full attention. It is a cloudy and very pale yellow beer with a head that does not last very well. Compared to other German beers it is minimally carbonated, which detracts from the mouth feel. The hops levels are also less than I like. There is a slight sourness. Overall, I would not buy it again, although I can understand how other people would like it.

Poured a seethru straw gold with quick-dying head. Aroma is light and airy, and beer itself is light, slightly sticky, floral, juicy, not dry although has a cracker-like crisp finish and is easy to drink.

 

Clear, golden color with a beautiful, white head. Malt, hay, and some fruits in the aroma. Malty, moderately sweet taste with brady notes. Well done, classic.

 

 

A 500ml bottle at my home bar in the Alps. It pours a clear golden yellow with two fingers of thick, stark white foam that has excellent retention. The aroma is doughy with lightly toasted malt, honey, and spicy hops. The flavor features a pleasant malty bread taste with a slight sweetness that transitions to a drier finish, complemented by honey and floral hops for balance. It has a medium body, a soft mouthfeel, and moderate carbonation that creates a crisp finish. This is a great beer not as good as the Spezial but a perfect example of why I enjoy Helles.

 

 

Bottle 0.5L.
Clear pale golden body with a large, frothy, white head, mostly diminishing with fair lacing.
Moderate hoppy (herbal, flowers) and light-to-moderate malty (grains) aroma.
Light-to-moderate bitter and sweet flavour, nice balanced; bitter finish.
Light body with watery texture; lively carbonation.

From the half liter bottle, it pours a clear golden color with a small white head that soon diminishes quickly. The nose gets a slight scent of grassy hops and a slightly sweet scent overall. The mouth follows with a smooth dinking, soft feeling, brew that is easy to drink and bready malt flavored with some slight hoppiness evident. Little to no aftertaste.

Lightt, nice flavor
