330ml bottle. Minimally milky, yellow-ish golden colour with huge, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, snow white head. Grainy, strawy, pale malty and minimally waxy hoppy aroma, hints of flax. Taste is grainy and strawy, pale malty, subtle residual sweetness, moderately bitter, slightly waxy and minimally soapy hoppy overtones, hints of flax. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Unbalanced, almost a bit weird - poor interpretation of an already deprived style.

Bottle, as Waldstadt Helles with a blue lable, 5,4% Danke Günther! Light hazy amber, offwhite head. Light mieral grain, juicy hay, herbal hop nose. Medium body, dry, fruity, light catty hops, nice grassy backbone though.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craft Bier Bude', 5.3% abv, best before February 2023. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty, minimally grassy aroma of grains, some straw and traces of lemon peel. Gently sweet, malty, moderately taste of grains, straw and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally grassy finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Average Export, quite drinkable but fairly bland.

Bottle: Golden, hazy, smaller, slowly collapsing white head, moderate sweetish-bitter grainy-dusty nose with malty spots and mineralic traces, herbal hops underneath; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, crunchy MF; lingering sweet grainy and later herba-bitter finish. Decent drop…
