Goldene, glasklare Farbe. Viel frische Frucht in der Nase. Das bekommt man auch beim Trinken. Außerdem ne gute Schippe Getreide und einen winzigen Schuss Obstbrand. Der Hopfen ist etwas diffus - einerseits liefert er deutlich Bitternoten (was bei einem Hellen immer noch als mild gelten darf), anderseits sind da sonst kaum weiter Nuancen zu erahnen . Recht weich. Für nur 4,8 % Alkohol kommt das alles recht satt und voll rüber.

Picked up from a 12 bottle box Kalea? from Globus. Plattling, €13. Consumed at home Tuesday 2nd December 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. Pours with a fab' clarity, mid gold, with a white head. Nice mouthfeel, soft, good carbonation, the bitterness is muted, hoppiness pleasant, it's absolutely fine but wouldn't rave about it.

0.33 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before June 2024. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, moderately fruity-floral and a bit grassy aroma of grains, some straw and traces of lemon peel. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and a bit fruity-floral taste of grains, straw and light lemon peel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish with a touch of cardboard. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Solid Helles.

Bottle. Clear gold with an ok white head. As advertised mild aroma of grains and bread. Taste of grains, malts and bread. A little lemon drops in, waves its little yellow hand and says quietly hello. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Mellow and mild. Alright.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts mild, malty. Shy spicy. Light sourish background. Light metallical hints. Finish well balanced. A bit boring malty. Okay.

Soft grainy beginning. Fruity, mild. Very soft, easy to drink with hints of bitterness in the back. Hints of grain there, very soft and easy to drink. Moderate bitter in the end. Nice. Thanks Holger!

0,33 l bottle from Getränkehaus, Lemförde. Clear golden as expected with a small one finger white head in the glass. Grainy straw and hop bitterness on the nose. Taste is more grainy with caramel, some sweet elements and citrus. Low bitterness. Light and easy drinker.
