500ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, strawy, pale malty and rather plain, grassy hoppy aroma, some malt spiciness. Taste is mellow, pale malty, minimally mineral, slightly floral, mildly bitter, hoppy overtones. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Very clean, highly drinkable - good.

Pours clear gold with a white head. Yep, it’s a helles. It’s perfectly fine for one, clean and light bodied with minimal hops. That’s just not my favorite thing. Okay.

Im Glas steht ein helles, strahlendes Goldgelb mit relativ wenig Perlage. Die weiße, fein- bis mittelporige Schaumkrone fällt rasch auf wenige Millimeter zusammen. Die Duftaromatik gestaltet sich süßlich, getreidig, brotig, keksig-teigig. Der Antrunk wirkt angenehm spritzig und süßlich bis fruchtig. Am Gaumen entfaltet sich eine süßlich-fruchtige und getreidige Malzaromatik mit einer akkurat milden Würze und kaum wahrnehmbaren, leicht trockenen Hopfennoten. Die Haptik ist durchaus angenehm und eine ganz gute Süffigkeit verleiht diesem Bier eine gewisse Trinkfreude. Im Nachtrunk schwinden die Malzaromen relativ rasch und eine angenehme trockene Hopfenaromatik stellt sich ein. Selbstverständlich ist dieses Helle absolut typisch bayerisch, unkompliziert, schön süffig und gut - aber es hebt sich auch nicht von vielen anderen ab.

Bottle picked up from a supermarket and consumed at home Tuesday 4th January 2022 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music, cooking Cauliflower in a Satay Sauce. Pours clear gold with a white head, crystal clear, good looking beer. Aroma is subtle hops and malt, nice carbonation, a little gentle tingling on the tongue. A touch of bitterness, pretty good.

Hoppy and malty, clean. Some sweetness from the malts, dry and crisp hoppiness, really smooth. Excellent.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a nice creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is lemony over breadiness. Med body. Flavor is mild spice, light lemony citrus and breadiness that tastes good. Very clean; very refreshing.

Shared bottle at home. Pours clear light golden with white head. Aroma of light bread, malt, some floral notes. Taste is well balanced. Thin bodied. Nothing special.
