Big solid looking 500 ml. swing-top bottle split with Dylan / Kraddel - thx. to myself - high-five myself. Crystal-clear pale golden with a smaller white head. Smells like sweet bananas, corn, straw, white bread and a nice dash of cleaning agent. Tastes like chemical lemons, banana, white bread, corn puree, flowers, white sugar, straw, cleaning agent and the fine taste of windex. Super easy to drink - quite sessionable - those are some pretty odd flavours I am getting but I still rather enjoyed this one - it is very drinkable and far from a bad trip.

Hazy yellow color, nice creamy head. Grainy, light yeasty aroma. Fresh grainy flavor, light yeasty, light fruity.

Catch up rating from notes, 2012: Bottle as part of mixed half rack from Edeka. Normal golden pour with medium sized fluffy head. Aroma is mostly the grainy, sweet malts normal for the style. Taste is bit more sweet than the norm, and a more pronounced bite at the finish. Overall, decent.

2L bottle Golden yellow color with huge head. Hoppy and grainy taste. Has mild carbonation and crispy taste. It’s nice and refreshing beer.

[Bottle as Höss Neuschwansteiner Das Echte from Dresden in Germany]

This is possibly the first dortmunder I’ve enjoyed. There’s a little aroma of hay and a little hops (noble?). Tasted good with a steak, but the meat may have influenced the beer more than I thought...Had it in the swingtop 500ml bottle.

A lightly hazed blonde helles with a thick frothy white head. In aroma, grassy malt with faint mineral notes. In mouth, a grainy malt with fresh mash, light German hops, mineral finish, chalky, not bad. LCBO bottle BB 30-05-11.
