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.

Bottle at Zapfahn Bamberg. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Now that is a tasty helles. After the Sonne Hell which is all clean lemon this is a little dirtier. Some more malt character. Hops are a mix of white and black pepper. Its OK interesting but a little metallic on the finish. Doesn't set thd heart racing but it's decent. Some character.
