Light, clear gold with a huge head. Aroma is hey and straw. Taste is also straw with alot of malty flavors.

Ein recht einfaches bayrisches 🇩🇪 Helles, das auch in der Dose über Kalea vertrieben wird. Es lässt sich gut trinken und hat dank leichter Buttrigkeit 🧈 eine enorme Süffigkeit. Aromatisch ist es eher primitiv und sehr konservativ; so merkt man nichts frisch-hopfiges. Einfaches Trinkbier 🍻, aber sonst nichts mehr.

16oz. Poured a golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma was light sweetness, some bready notes, light lingering sweet finish. Light bread, malt, honey.

Straw, hay. Golden pour with decent head, some lacing. Crisp finish. Can from advent calendar.

Can. Pours a golden hue with a large white head, some foamy creep. A very sweet malty nose. Sugary sweet malt base, bready. Ok. Sorta pushing toward pale lager territory.

500ml can pours out crisp clean straw topped with a white head. Nose is sweet honey and some bread malts. Taste is more of the sweet honey notes and grain.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is sweet grain and sulfur. Flavor is more sweet grain and a little mineral aftertaste. This was a decent helles. Very clean and grainy.

Tap. Clear golden color with medium white head. Aroma is sweet grains, cereals, straw. Taste is mildly grainy, rather sweet, slightly herbal, a bit metallic, soft mouthfeel. Rather high carbonation. Nothing wrong with this (except maybe it’s a bit too sweet and a bit overcarbed), just a bit boring.

While in Berlin during Jan 2012 our friends took us to a favourite bar of theirs, a Bohemian sort of place, called the ‘Bleibreu Bar’, on the street of that name, close to Savigny Platz. The only beer on tap is this: unusual for Berlin and a nice surprise not to find the normal Kindl, etc, etc. Half litre glasses of a mid-gold colour; good lacing being produced by the full white foaming head that sat on the beer when it arrived at the table. The smell was faint and of grain, some hops as well if I’m to be kind. The typical Helles/Pils/Lager refreshing liquid hit my lips, hop content just overcoming what malts there were: the beer was spritzy yet the brew seemed also to be soft, like a Pilsner from Luxembourg, where the water is somehow different to many of the harsher German brews. Nothing to set it apart from other beers in this group, I enjoyed it because of the company and surroundings, my scores are however objective more than subjective as far as possible.
