500ml bottle. Hazy, dark mahogany colour with huge, thick, firm, frothy, beige head. Wheaty, malty aroma, slightly bready, notes of baked banana, raisin, plum, a touch of clove, fruit parings. Taste is slightly sweet wheat malty, slightly bready, some baked banana, raisin, plum, some clove, a touch of cinnamon. Quite rich, but mild and drinkable.

Smooth and malty, intense bitter caramel, roasted malt. Viscous, Malzbonbon, but not too sweet. The aftertaste is malty-sticky, still quite dry, fresh but deep, roasted caramel, burned sugar and nice bitter. Great beer, that is not too sweet but dry-roasted-malty with caramel!

0,5 l bottle with a simple but good looking label art design. As usual and expected, golden and clear in the glass, medium short living head. Grainy grassy on the nose. Starts with malt, grassy and low grain. Little bit sourish scratchy. Present hop, grainy aftertaste. Really not bad for a Helles.

(bottle) Hazy, orange to golden colour with a rocky white foam. Sweet, moderately yeasty and wheaty nose with distinctive notes of banana and restrained clovy spice. Light-sweet and slightly sourish flavour with a quite soft, almost a bit flat carbonation. Initially short wheaty with a light fruit-character and a growing yeasty and hoppy bitterness towards the slightly sourish fruity and spicy finish (01.06.08).

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond and firm mid-sized foamy head. Grassy and mildly hoppy aroma with doughy pale malt. Mildly bitter and delicately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Doughy pale malty and subtle grainy taste with grassy hops, getting slightly metallic towards the dry and moderately bitter finish. Quite boring. 01.IX.14

(bottle, purchased at the brewery) Clear, golden colour with a blonde foamy head of medium size. Herbal, slightly grassy hoppy aroma with a soft grainy malty sweetness. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Well-rounded herbal hoppy and slightly grainy malty taste, leading into a dry and long-lasting bitter-sweet herbal hoppy finish. Balanced classic Pilsener (10.05.08).
