A true classic of quintessential Munich and Bavarian food and drinks. Clear and sparkling bright golden in the glass, crowned by a pure white head, it is usually drunk in the shade of a chestnut tree according to tradition. A beer which always goes down well: mild, elegant malts with a hint of sweetness and a soft hint of hops in the background. This is pure Bavarian life style!

Can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of straw with a bit of hay and a touch of earthy grass underlying. Flavor has lots of straw and grains with a bit of hay and a light earthiness in the finish.

I like this beer, for a macrobrewery it is classical but it is find. The taste is malty, some hop, a bit soapy and a big watery, refreshing, 19.06.16, tasting it at Prélaz, buying it at one Denner.

Clear light golden with full head. Cereal and malt aroma. Fresh taste of bread and cereal, hints of citrus and adequate bitterness.

Can’t believe I’ve never rated this. It’s bottled, it’s grassy, it’s helles. Solid if unspectacular.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of grass, lemon and a faint peppery spice. Flavour of grassy hops and a tight bitterness. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. Crisp and peppery.
