Helles of sorts by a brewery located in a small Bavarian village, bottled in a steinie bottle and even named after it; interesting to note is that this particular bottle type was invented in Milwaukee, USA in the thirties by the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company, founded in the mid-nineteenth century by Joseph Schlitz, who was one of the people responsible for bringing German style lager brewing to North America. Steinie bottles have done well in the USA but perhaps even better in Belgium, where they are used very frequently by a wide array of breweries (small and big) for a wide array of beers, so for me as a Belgian, this is nothing unusual; in Germany, though, they are a rarity, so this one did stand out in the shop where I bought it. On top of all this, it bears a depiction of Albert Einstein, just because his last name also has 'stein' in it - and because the man is associated with genius more than anyone in modern times... Anyway, on to the beer: snow white, medium sized, opening and receding, dot-lacing head, clear yellow-golden blonde robe. Aroma of old white bread, drying grass, dry cereals, minerals and a persistent sulfuric DMS effect (cooked green cabbage) which bothered me throughout. Clean, neutral onset, minerally carbonation; sweetish, simple pale maltiness, cereally and slick but not too thin, finishing with a dash of grassy and floral hops - but also retronasal DMS. Very basic and below average Helles - I guess the fact that its bottle shape deviates from anything else I found in Germany should have ringed a bell... Drinkable, in all, but lacking the delicate balance of a truly good Helles and sadly marred by DMS, something I am very sensitive to and just cannot get out of my mind once I detected it.

2/XI/24 - 33cl bottle @ home, BB: 17/IV/25/P (2024-1169) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!
Clear gold blond beer, creamy irregular white head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet impression, ripe banana, something off, sugary impression, chemical, apothecary. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, grains, pretty bitter, more malts, whole grain bread, a bit sourish. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, malty, some caramel, ripe banana, caramel malts, nice, grains, a bit sourish, fruity, banana, decent one!

Ein Mitbringsel eines Kollegen. Ein klassisches bayrisches Helles, das aber einen durchaus aromatischen Körper hat, ohne zu sehr seine Süffigkeit einzubüßen. Es mag nicht das Superduper-Kreativbier sein, aber es hat mir durchaus Freude bereitet.

Hellgoldgelb mit deutlicher Perlage, die eine weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone nährt. Diese ist stabil und sehr gut haltbar. Der Duft zeigt sich sehr angenehm - leicht süßlich malzig, zart würzig und einer leicht fruchtig-hefigen Zitrusnote. Der Antrunk kommt sehr spritzig und getreidig. Am Gaumen zeigt sich weiterhin eine sehr getreidige, leicht brotige, süßliche Malzaromatik, welche von einer ganz angenehmen Würze und einer zarten Hopfung begleitet wird. Die etwas präsente Rezenz stört den Trinkfluss ein wenig - somit leiden Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit merkbar darunter. Rein aromatisch macht dieses Bier aber doch einen ganz anständigen und runden Eindruck. Im Abgang wirken leicht metallische Noten und eine passable leichte Hopfenherbe.

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is mild hops, cereals, sweetish malts. Taste is the same, sweetish malts. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Not great, but not bad either.

Fläschla: Clear and golden, small but stable white foamy layer, mild neutral grainy-dusty nose, presumably a touch of herbal hops underneath; mild sweetish-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit tart; traces of vegetables in the shorter bitter-sweet finish. The usual nasty Kesselring stuff...

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
