Tap at Watzke am Ring. Somewhat hazy old gold/amber body, some off-white head. Pungent, lovely caramelly-honeyisy-malty aroma with some apricot jam undertones. Smooth, bit flat taste, clean, soft malty backbone, soft honey-caramel, soft orange peel and apricot jam, soft clean yeastiness, solid hoppy herbal profile and bitter finish - like I love this brewery for. Yeeeah, this, as it is now, rocks.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy reddish amber body, off-white head. Dried fruit dominates the aroma, stone fruit and some orange. Soft sweetish but quite drinkable body, smooth, caramelly, dried fruit, low low orange peel, low herbal bitterness... Dare I say... excellent? Or thereabouts really, respect!

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy dark amber body, off-white head. Exactly as its description says, malty-grainy and caramelly aroma. Very low herbal hops. Dryish taste, caramel, grainy notes, dried fruit, herbal hoppy finish. Good one by all means!

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy golden-yellow body, off-white head, thick. Mild sulfury-yeasty touch in the aroma, herbal hoppiness follows, bit floral. The taste... Oooh, soft yeasty taste, looow sulfur and grainy touches, biiig herbal bitterness batters the finish. Serious stuff! But the Dresdner Hell somehow has a better hop presence. Eh, still a good one.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy pale yellow-golden body, creamy white head. Pleasant herbal and lightly floral hops break through some not unpleasant yeasty, mildly sulfury and bready notes in the aroma. Nice dry taste, bitterish, herbal hoppiness up front, nice yeasty profile, low light tartness from somewhere but not distracting. Good long bitter aftertaste. Aaaah a dry and bitter hoppy "helles" that's hoppier than almost all Southern Bavarian pilsners. Nice!
