Classic Helles—I’m assuming; the brewery’s been around for almost 1,000 years so hard to say they aren’t the benchmark for the style—except it seems a tad sweet, with notes of red apple and vanilla leading to a gentle white bread and floral fade. Canned; my first Weihenstephaner not in a bottle. Woo-hoo.

Bottle drunk after removing old mortar (painted sky blue; very wavy) from around a former basement door frame. The 60s were really the wild west of home improvement in Germany, I tell you! The beer on the other hand is clear gold, not wavy (but also not flat - nice head). Spicy nose with that hint of malty sweetness, which follows through on the tongue. Nice medium thin body with a great balance of crisp bitterness. Very refreshing after chipping off dusty mortar half the afternoon.

Clear golden. Aroma is white bread and floury dough and a few lime notes and some noble hops. Taste is average lager with little sour starchy and doughy notes. Pretty balanced but also nothing special. Ok.

500 ml can. Bright yellow gold color. Large, frothy white head. Grainy, earthy malt aroma hints at fresh herbs. Flavor is sweet, bready malt. Soft mouthfeel. Delicate hop bitterness on backend. Wonderful balance and drinkability. Another quality beer from this world class brewer.

500 ml can from Brewers Haven. Crystal clear pour, pale golden, fluffy thick head. Malty, bready aroma, saltines, light sweetness. Taste follows seamlessly, bready malts, sweet notes, and a mild dry, bitter finish.
