500 ml bottle, bb 15.07.26. Clear golden body, with a big, fluffy, white head.
Aroma of cereals, hay, grass, earth, bread, some spicy hops, slight citrus, subtle yeast juiciness. Tastes quite similar, with more spicy hops and citrus.
Slightly creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes moderately bitter, cerealic, hoppy, grassy, a bit mineralic.

My bottle isn't that fresh anymore, but this is still very quaffable stuff! Greatly balanced and very characterful at the same time, with quite some complexity. Beautiful spicy hop notes and that typical slightly juicy yeast that comes through more as the beer warms up a bit.

Fles 50cl bij Café Wanderer in Neurenberg. Zeer zacht, maltig, grainy, wat citrustonen, wat grassig, wat bloemig. (14-6-2026).

Bottle bought by mail order in Japan. Pours a bright, clear gold with a low head. Nose is soft malt, lemons, biscuit, honey, a touch of oxidation and a tiny bit of DMS. Crisp, clean malt flavor, and extremely bitter for the style. Nothing like a Munich Helles, but super nice, if not in perfect condition when we got it.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice small head. Fine malty spicy aroma. Starts fine malty, spicy, wheaty notes. Mild sweetish hints, not too intense. Shy lemon touch. Finish well balanced, soft malty-spicy. Quite drinkable. Nice one!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Grainy malt with herbal-ish noble hop, straw, grassy hop. Above moderate bitter, slightly sweetish. Medium body. Solid Helles!

Golden or the slightest bit darker, clear looks. Average sized white head, quite good retention and a bit of lacing. Aroma: fresh/fragrant crackery malts, very light sweetish notes of honey, a hint of slightly citric fruitiness, a relatively intense (per style) clean grassy feel. A pretty simple aroma, not especially intense, but feels quite fragrant and refreshing. Taste notes follow the aroma closely: again, average taste intensity, a pretty nice refreshing feel and a delicate fragrant/crackery touch. Quite light in both sweetness and bitterness, very delicate and nicely balanced, very clean. Nice mouthfeel: quite light in body, light to medium, delicate, fine-bubbled carbonation; feels very smooth with a hint of crispness. Overall: a very classic, straightforward helles, maybe even simpler than other examples; very well crafted though and overall a very good example of the style.

Clear golden colour, white foam. Rustic, bready, malty with nice hoppiness. Great Helles
