A rather good Helles, particulafrly for the price. Golden with a fast fading white head; some grassy hops on the nose; sweetish taste to start; with a dry herbal bitterness to finish.

July 2009: Green 330ml bottle, part of a six-pack bought cheaply from an Aldi supermarket. Poured into a ’La Chouffe’ branded tulip glass. I am sure this is really the normal Original DAB Pilsner, same colour and taste/feel, but cheaper to buy. I wasn’t thinking correctly because I have a lovely old DAB Meister-Pils glass tankard that I should have reviewed it in. Never mind, I’ll have the others out of it. Good, firm white head on initial pour, fell away to a collar and wisp very quickly. Mid-range pilsner golden body with a few bubbles rising through. Odourless, more or less. Clean, crisp and dry, not a bad lager/pilsner at all. Ideal for parties in the UK where lager drinkers are going to be wanging back whatever is put in front of them.
