A festival beer at its best, with the true characteristics of the bottom-fermented helles (every helles is a lager, but not every lager is a helles): rounded flavors, moderate, but pleasant bitterness, an incredibly silky mouthfeel, a pale appearance (which is what the name originally means) and only 4.1% alcohol to start, continue or end the evening. Good times all the time!
Fesztiválsör a javából az alsóerjesztésű helles sörök legjobb tulajdonságaival (ugye minden helles lager, de nem minden lager helles): lekerekített ízek, visszafogott, de jóleső keserűség, hihetetlenül selymes kortyérzet, fakó megjelenés (ezt is jelenti eredetileg a neve) és mindössze 4,1%-os alkohol, hogy ezzel kezdődhessen-folytatódhasson-fejeződhessen be az este. Mindig, mindenhol jól esik!

Tap at Kraft, courtesy of the MS crew. Nem keszitettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sort.

Canned 330ml. -from Interspar Nagykanizsa, shared with Hrabren. Golden coloured, medium sized airy white head, light grainy and whiff of honey in the nose. Sweetish malty, grainy, bready and touch of honey with short dryish finish.

0.33 l can thanks to Ogi who brought it from Hungary, shared with him. Cloudy golden, medium white head. Aroma is grainy, bready. lightly fruity, green apple. Light body, sweet, bready, spicy flavour. Also fruity, some banana. Spicy phenolic, some astringency. Slightly messy, weird use or choice of yeast. Dry finish, moderate to high carbonation, quite smooth, still drinkable.

0,33 can. Modern dobozban hagyományos sör. Szép aranyszínű, hatalmas fehér habbal, ahogy kell. Aroma: maláta és komló nagyon precíz, németes elegye, semmi kivetnivaló benne, és még illat-intenzivitás is van. Ízre malátás, élesztős, kenyeres (már-már búzás hatású) alap, viszont a kategóriánál megszokott szintnél komlósabb. Fanyar, citrusos komlózás, határozott szénsavasság, élesztős utóíz. Közepes test, a 4,1 nél többnek érződik. Tartalmasabb, mint egy "normál" helles. Finom!

Traditional beer in a modern can. Nice golden color, with a huge white head, as it should be. Aroma: a very precise, German blend of malt and hops, nothing to complain about, and there is even aroma intensity. The taste is malty, yeasty, bready (almost wheaty) base, but more hoppy than usual for the category. Tart, citrusy hops, distinct carbonation, yeasty aftertaste. Medium body, feels more than 4.1. More substantial than a "normal" Helles. Delicious!

33cl can from City SPAR in Budapest, Hungary. Head is big, white, good retention. Colour is shiny gold, light hazy. Aroma is mostly bready, bit caramel, light hoppy. Taste is medium malty base, citrus, bready, decent bitterness, light hoppy, medium carbonation, ok for this bit boring style, enjoyed.

Közepes, tartós hab, kissé homályos borostyán szín. Illata visszafogott, kifejezetten malátás, gabonás, enyhén poros. Íze abszolút malátahangsúlyos, enyhén édeskés, a háttérben egy pici fűszeres, füves jelleggel. Könnyű, de telt test, közepes szénsavtartalom, a komló keserűjét alig érezni. Nagyon jó ivósör.

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2024. Hazy golden body, white head. DMS in the sweetish, grainy aroma, sadly. Lean, grainy, minerally taste, bit herbal. Nice and drinkable to a point, but clearly slightly flawed, sadly.
