(Draft at Biererei, Berlin, 15 July 2025) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of bread, head and citrus. Malty taste with bread, grain, grass, hay and a mild herbal/grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh and well balanced. Quite nice.

Als Helles vom Faß im Hops & Barley, Friedrichshain. - Schön goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase Hefe, getreidiges helles Malz und milde kräuterige Hopfung. - Antrunk satt, beinahe dick getreidig hellmalzig mit deutlicher Malzsüße und nur milder, eher plumper Hopfung. Blasse Anklänge an Mandarine. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang aromatisch vage, matt zitrusfruchtige Bittere. - Dickliches aber plumpes Helles, nicht richtig ausgereift, nahe an einem belanglosen Gasthausbrauereien-Produkt. Keine Empfehlung. (15.7.2022.)

Toasted malts, slightly cloudy. Mildly sweet but balanced with a decent amount of hops and good toasted malt character. Nice.

Draught@brewpub. Golden color, medium-sized creamy white head. Light lemony-sweet malty aroma. Flavor is sweetish, wort, some citrusy hops. Quite typical "mainstream" brewpub product and only helles by name.
