A timeless classic. We have been brewing Ottakringer Helles ever since the brewery was established. It has been in a constant state of change and has developed its taste with time: The best hops and malt, and mild spring water from our in-house brewery well provide an even balance between a light malt aroma with fruity notes and pleasant bitterness. The straw colour and fresh yeast aroma are trademarks of this beer.

500ml can watching The Cure live in London, at Kinepolis cinema Lomme. Drunk straight from the can. Smooth mellow sweetness coursing through with a satisfying clean finish. Pretty decent actually.

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with crisp-bread, honey, citrus and a touch of thyme. Malty taste with notes of bread, honey, citrus, herbs and a mild grassy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Flawless, decent macro lager. Quite enjoyable.

0,5 l can. Pours clear golden with medium, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is grasdy and grainy, somewhat stale. Taste is medium sweet and low bitter. Body is thin. Finish is short and unremarkable. Not my taste, at least its not offensive.

Klare goldgelbe Farbe; gemischtporige relativ flüchtige Schaumkrone. In der Nase frisch, leicht hellfruchtig, ziemlich getreidig und leicht grasig-hopfig. Im Geschmack rund, leicht kernig-würzig und hellmalzig, frisch, sehr schlanker Körper, relativ trocken, etwas Hopfenbittere. Insgesamt ein solides und sehr süffiges Helles.

Can from the lcbo. Clear golden pour, with a small white head. Pale cereals, quite grassy, light minerals, wet paper. Mouth feel is bright, slightly thin, soft carb. Finish is mealy, more grass, light fruity undertones, light bitterness.
