Bottle, bought at the brewery shop. Mandarin and a hint of milk in the aroma. Malty, milky flavor, low on hopbitterness (just a hint in the aftertaste) with a touch of orange esters. Typical helles, not without quality, but not outstanding in any way.

Thanks to quack-duck for that one! Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts fine malty, fine spicy, some grasy-wheaty notes. Nice dry background. Finish well balanced, malty-spicy. Nice!

500ml bottle [another local from bartlebier, thank you!]. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy, minimally strawy aroma, a cautious muggy touch of wet straw, fresh grassy hoppy overtones. Taste is pale malty with very subtle sweetness, minimally grainy spicy, a cautious touch of hay, grassy hoppy overtones with a cautious lemon touch. If I had tasted this blind, I would have expected to come upon a hazy beer.

(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, golden colour with a big but not very persistent slightly off-white foamy head. Herbal spicy hoppy aroma with a slightly buttery malty background. Mildly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Slightly bready and buttery malty base with a pleasantly herbal and slightly woody hops character: Good, but very close to their Export. 18.I.12

(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Buttery malty aroma with herbal hoppy notes. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Buttery and slightly bready malt-character with present herbal and slightly woody hops; mildly bitter hoppy finish with a shy sourish touch. Once again a likeable brew from Elzach. 18.I.12

Bottle(thank You, Stefan!): Golden, spicy hoppy nose with a bready-malty background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, almost medium bodied, soft; lingering hoppy-citrussy with a woody touch in the aftertaste. Spicy and good…
