(tap 0,2l @ La Cantinetta (Rimini - Italy)) Nothing special. Usual hell beer.

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden with small white head. Clear aroma of hops with subtle malty and yeasty touches. Bitter, hoppy flavour with a distinct cardboard note and a touch of yeast. I do not quite enjoy cardboard orgies but I accept the fact that this is normal for a Dortmunder/Helles. So, all in all, acceptable.

Clear, yellow body. White head. Faint hoppy aroma. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet, very faint flavour.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

On 14th Jan 2012 I decided to have a lager/pilsner/helles/light beer evening: a 500ml screw-top bottle of this beer was the third to be opened. The brewery obviously wanted to cover all the bases with this beer: not many Landbier Export Helles all in one bottle that I know of. Poured into three Pilsner glasses (tulip, stemmed): almost clear body of a dull golden yellow colour, a white crown sat on each glass, looked like any other Helles I’ve had, but duller. Very little in the nose, grass, mini-floral hop type smells are all I got. The taste wasn’t overly impressive either: mildly hoppy with a malt content stopping the beer being too dry or bitter from the hops. Mellow rather than crisp, soft rather than tart: it didn’t do enough for me and I thought the whole beer was dull. The alcohol was well hidden but the mouthfeel was on the thin side and overall it just seemed like plenty of other ‘run of the mill’ German brews.

Bottle @ Clockwork Brewpub. Clear golden colour, white head. Nose is light malted, straw. Flavour is grassy, light malted, bit of hops. Dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a longlasting white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma. Fruity malty grainy bready flavor. Has a fruity malty brady finish.

The bottle looks good, but I dont like those twist-off caps. Starts strong, spicy, a bit wheaty and modest dry. Finish a bit sourish and a bit unbalanced, but still okay. Not bad!
