Clear pale golden, medium sized white head, good enough retention and lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: a grainy malty base with a hint of something sweeter (shortcrust pastry?), relatively strong golden apple fruitiness, a touch of herbal freshness. Taste notes follow the aroma quite closely: a neutral or slightly sweet leaning malty base (notes as per aroma), a pleasant, delicately refreshing herbal/grassy note, a bit of apple-like fruitiness. A clean, well defined taste profile, with a balanced, clean aftertaste. Quite light in body, with low to average, quite delicate carbonation; pretty much your standard, quaffable franconian lager mouthfeel. Nothing special maybe, but clean, well made and a pleasant one on the overall.

Dorada limpia de espuma consistente pero poco duradera. El aroma presenta carácter malteado con predominio de acidez de fermentación. En boca es muy ligera, floja de gas, algo aguada. Desaparece la acidez casi por completo y el sabor es malteado floral, miel, algo dulce en general. Amargor casi inexistente. Algo cansina.

On tap at Hummel, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice ligitly spicy herbaceous character, with straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with sweet cereal malt, straw, and light herbaceous character. Much maltier than the typical helles but very good.

Golden with a white head. Very grain forward. Some grassy bits in the back. Medium to thin body with a high carbonation. Finish is more cereal grains. It’s decent.

Flaska från Bierothek. Gyllengul klar vätska med medelhögt vitt skum. Mjuk och rund kropp med bra kropp med bröd och säd men också rejält med humle för en helles. Mycket gott

Optisch klares Gold im Glas, feine Perlung, Schaum genauso. In der Nase Getreide, Hafer. Im Trunk etwas wässrig, fast plädderich. Schade.

On tap at the brewery Merkendorf. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Looks a bit carbonated. Yes some carbonated acid sting. Some pale malt is fine. Not much hop a little lemon on the finish. Not as good as Wagner Helles round the corner. This is more a straight up regular helles. OK

Leicht trübe strohgelbe Farbe, dichte und stabile Schaumkrone; in der Nase leicht säuerlich, hopfig, würzig und getreidig; im Geschmack auch mit deutlicher Säure, aber leichter Süße, getreidig, milde Hopfenbittere. Insgesamt etwas merkwürdig, vielleicht einen Monat vor MHD schon überlagert?
