Bottle from the series. Nice wheaty aroma, so easy drinking, floury, light bitterness, grassy. It disappeared quite quickly due to it being very drinkable. Will update when I have another.

A bright brassy gold color with a thick head of foam that leaves heaping globs of soapy looking lacing behind.
Bready dusty flour, sweet light malts and perfumy hops in the nose while the beer’s medium to light body is full of chewy grains, honeyed malts and floral hops with a crisp semi-dry finish. An easy drinking lager.

Bottle from the brewery. Brewer says it is a completely different recipe from 2011. Rich, malty, grainy nose. Biscuits, bread, light citrus and flowery hops. Bright, deep gold with a medium, rocky head. Smooth, rich malts, bready and sweet, lovely. Very smooth and juicy with nice melanoidins. Hops just right too, just enough to balance. Suffig. Just a bit too sweet.

Bottle from the brewery. Soft, malty nose. Grains, cereal, slight grassy hops. Deep gold with a huge head. Tasty malt flavor, crackers, bread, medium sweetness, light grass and bitterness. A proper helles for sure, with luscious malts. Mild and malty. Full, smooth palate. Really quite tasty. Great, soft mouthfeel. Here, Baeren is in their territory.
