Can to mug.
Appearance: clear yellow with a subtle rusty hue in the color and a finger's worth of white foamy head which retained well then slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: honey-ed biscuits/sweet bready to white bread crust maltiness with a nice light floral to sweet freshly cut grassy hop note
Flavor: leads with those prior noted malts and the hops seem way more faded here; finishes like smooth sweet honey-ed biscuits and crisp
Texture: light to medium bodied, definitely sessionable, very smooth along the tongue with a little bit of creaminess
Overall: yessssssss! Definitely a wonderful Helles lager I'd bang again! Soon enough, I'll be sippin' this one on the back porch this Spring.

0,5l, bottle.
Pours clear gold, with a fully diminishing, thin white head. Weak aromas of malt, flavor is also quite weak. Both have a faint sweet finish. A very light Hell beer I'd say..

Nagy, nem túl tartós hab, arany szín. Malátás, enyhén fűszeres illat. Édeskés, malátás, enyhén fűszeres íz. Könnyű közepesen szénsavas, csak leheletnyit keserű. Tisztességesen elkészített helles, de ittam már jobbat.

Bottle from the Adnams shop at Holkham Norfolk. Which is a very pleasant place to buy beer. Anyway. Clear medium gold. Sturdy white foam. Cereal malts show a tad of sourness. Grass clippings hoppage. Semi sweet to start with moderate grassy bitterness. Nicely clean and quaffable. Moderate bitterness to finish. Steady away Helles.

Drinking this home in Juan de Mairena, finding this can at the Alcampo, Sevilla. A correct German lager, helles, refreshing and average, perfect at any time, malty, smooth and dry, a bit metalic, fairly bitter, classical German hop, 26.02.24

0.5l bottle. Clear yellow gold, white head. Aroma of bready malts, straw, grains. Taste of bready malts, grains, straw, mild grassy hop, quite a honeyed sweetness, low bitterness. Not bad, personally want a little more bitterness from a lager.

BB 12-12-25.
Pours a clear pale gold with smallish head of foam,good retention and lacing. Lots of bubble action.
Smell is hoppy, toasted malt, some sweet/caramel.
Taste is toasted malt, nice hop bitterness, sweet notes of caramel. Grassy.
Medium bodied, easy drinking, I'd drink this again.
