Oktoberfest Uber ales

Münchener Helles by one of Germany's industry leaders, from tap at a restaurant in Frankfurt am Main. Medium thick, snow white, sparsely lacing, moussey head, clear and pure warm golden blonde robe with strings of sparkling. Aroma of white bread crust, raw cereals, freshly cut grass, minerals, wet cotton cloth, hints of gypsum and dried chamomile. Clean, crisp onset, minerally carbonation with smooth body; slick cereally and grainy core, sweetish in a pure malty way, gently and agreeably bittered by grassy, floral hops, adding a soft drying effect. Very well balanced Helles - industrial perhaps, but the Reinheitsgebot guarantees the pureness I appreciate a lot in the German Lager family. Quenching and enjoyable, though the lovely setting of a rooftop restaurant in futuristic Frankfurt may have helped...

Sweet malty aroma. Cloudy amber color, long head with lacing. Honey sweetness. Light body, lively carbonation and smooth.

The pic: the beer is better kept in the bottle. Preferably forever. Or down the drain at least.

500 ml can from Coop, Zermatt, Switzerland. From the can. Smooth and clean lager flavor. No sulfur notes. Lightly sweet. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Good basic German beer.

Bottle. Toasty nose, lightly nutty, bread, some herbal hops. Deep orange-amber, hazy, with a tall, thick head. Sweet and estery, yeasty, orange, cantaloupe, clove, spicy, biscuity. Rather heavy body. Slightly bitter finish, a bit messy.
