Sitting together on long wooden benches, enjoying pretzels and hearty snacks and treats, feeling that Bavarian hospitality and camaraderie, the perfect service donned in smart-looking traditional costume – nearly complete but what absolutely can't be missing? A liter of Hofbräu Original! Luminous golden yellow with foamy white crown – you can already taste the refreshment: Slightly malty, full-bodied, mature and with an elegant finish. A beer with character for connoisseurs with character.

Green bottle. Poured into a flared pilsner glass, the appearance was a burnt yellow laziness. A one finger white foamy head leveled out at a nice pace. Mild stringy lace ran here and there.
The aroma started off with some sweet bready to biscuity maltiness leaning into some mild grassy hops.
The flavor is the same with some skunkiness starting to show through. Light semi-sweet bready aftertaste leaning into the finish, but that’s starting to show some skunkiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice decent clean sessionable smooth feel to it. Carbonation rides light.
Overall, decent Hellas lager, good thing I drank it now. In less than a week, probably would be totally skunked. I lucked out. But still hate green bottles.

On tap. Clear golden colour with a medium white head. Malty and sweet, but also grassy aroma. Light grassy taste with light to medium sweetness, grainy, bready. Medium body with medium carbonation. Easy one.
