Getrunken nach einer Führung durch die Brauerei, was sicher die Begeisterung für dieses Bier erhöht hat. Es ist sehr würzig und voll im Geschmack, was es nicht unbedingt den Titel als Sommerbier einbringen würde. Aber der süffige Geschmack, der auch dazu richtig herb ist, erfreut die Zunge. Kein Bier von dem man 3 Liter trinken will, aber als Feierabendbier wirklich ausgezeichnet.

500 ml bottle. Has a crystal clear, light-straw color that reminds me of champagne ... except champagne doesn’t have a snow-white, frothy head like this does. Aroma is subtle with notes of honey and sweet flowers. Taste is sweet at first, and the there is a slight bitterness on the backend. The flavor of honey is very pronounced, but not overpowering like mead. It has a medium-body with lively carbonation. The finish fades quickly, but smoothly.

Overall, a very nice beer that I am enjoying more and more as I sip it. :)

Very drinkable. A lager with no loose ends for style. Light caramel finish. Pours golden with only initial head and lacing. Bottle.

Keg at the southern. Pours clear pale golden, nose is grassy, cereal, taste is similar, quite sweet. 2.5 barrel at the brewpub. Pours clear golden, nose is floral, toffee, grainy, taste is sweet, chewy, cereal, floral. 3.1

Bottle @ BBB. Pours slightly hazy pale golden with a big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of sticky lacing and trace on the glass. Smell is slightly malty, slightly floral and slightly fruity with crackers, cereal, hay, white grapes, moist soil and lemon peal. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and slightly fruity with crackers, white bread, cookie dough, hay, white raisins, minerals and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is crisp and light to medium bodied. Finish is sweet and slightly bitter with cereal, white bread, hay, minerals, white raisins and lemon zest. Bit more sweet than expected. Would have loved it drier and crisper.

0,50 bottle purchased and consumed in Serbia. Pours pale golden color going yellow, clear/filtered with a medium white bright foam. Nose: yeasty, cellar, bread-like malts, some tart astringent notes. Mouth: chewy consistency, basic malts, citrusy aftertaste, it feels like chewing grains. I liked it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very clear pale yellow color with medium white head. A bit of noble hops, a bit of grass in the aroma. Taste is balanced between malt sweetness, grassy hops and a hint of bitterness, but really just a hint. Perfect drinkability, light body, refreshing. Probably the best Helles I?ve ever had, I don?t think you can get much more out of this style. Not much taste there though, but that?s how a Helles should be. That?s why I gave a high overall score. 5/3/7/3/15 EDIT: From the wooden barrel at Ayingers am Platzl, this gets much more bite and character. Good stuff, although it is served too cold. Also, impossible to rate appearance, since it’s from a ceramics stein, but I assume it’s as the regular one. 7/3/7/4/15 EDIT: Once more at Ayingers am Platzl, July 2016 - more tempered, very nicely balanced, good round honey malt body, low carbonation. A near-perfect Helles! Also, I’ve decided that the stone mug is awesome after all! 7-4-8-4-15

On tap at Ayinger Bierstube, Aying.
Very pale golden color big rocky white head, plenty of lacing. Very malty aroma due to relatively high gravity, white bread, floral noble hallertau hops. Cookies in the beginning leading to a leafy hops bitterness. Taste is well balanced, a but sugary. Body medium to full, an helles couldn’t be thicker than this. Finish is aromatic, refreshing, hoppy with hints of honey. High carbonation.
Smooth, malty, still rather dry, alcohol shows his presence. Excellent ’hell on steroids.
Bottle is more carbonated and less ’fresh’, but still good.

Bottle @ Ölrepubliken. Clear golden with a huge rocky white head, dissipates quickly. Aroma is grass, bread, slight citrus and a honey tone. Taste is clean and crisp, with pale malt, grass, citrus, bread, slight bitter tone, again some honey touch. Light body, medium carbo, slight round texture. A stable helles.

Pours a pale golden color, clear, topped with a very fine and solid frothy white head. There ia a malty, wheaty aroma, addition of some coury notes. The taste is sweet, some honey in there, with a little bitterness in the end. Not bad, but nothing that special either.
