(bottle, 33cl) Clear, golden colour with a blond and short foamy layer. Slightly draffy and mildly bready malty nose with notes of herbal hops and very subtle fruity accents. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a tame carbonation. Dry and delicately chalky, bready malt character with traces of caramel and herbal hoppy spice in the background; the latter getting slightly stronger towards the dry, draffy and mildly malty finish. Rather raw and undemanding. 22.I.15

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a blond and short foamy head. Fruity and slightly piney hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit, an exotic touch and a whiff of grass. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Initially malty sweet with a hearty and mostly fruity and lighter resiny hoppy touch, including notes of citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, as well as exotic accents, lingering into the moderately dry finish. Likeable. 01.I.15

330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average to huge, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy aroma, some hay, butter, vanilla. Taste is slightly floral grainy, a touch of hay and butter, maybe vanilla. Above average Helles, obviously not a macro brew, nevertheless somehow a futile investment in an insolvent style. (6/2/6/3/12). Re-rate 08/09/2019: 330ml bottle [as Last Chane to Dance / Ruhrpott Rodeo]. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy malty and fruity hoppy aroma, hints of yellow stone fruit, a touch of hay. Taste is sweet-ish, grainy malty, slightly fruity hoppy, minimally floral, a touch of hay. Watery-oily texture, soft carbonation. (6/2/6/3/12).
