Bottle. Hazy amber color with creamy eggshell head. Aroma is caramel, fudge, herbal. Taste is the same, lots of fudge and rather sweet. Silky mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Pleasant, but too simple and sweet to be a great example.

500 ml bottle brought from Bavaria by a friend, bb 24.01.18
Yellow, slightly hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma is a bit like a mountain meadow, with grass, flowers, hay, herbs, grains, some fruity hops.
Tastes similar, with a bit more citric notes.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, floral, grassy, grainy, a bit piney, a bit sweet.
Crisp and aromatic, with diverse notes that remind me of a mountain meadow, while also with some citric hops from the background. Drinks very fresh and clean, with just enough sweet body for a good balance. Lovely, traditional Bavarian Lager with a lot of character.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours almost clear yellow with a medium head. Aroma is grass, slight hay, lemon. Body is medium, earthy, a little bit salty, with an almost aggressive lively carbonation. Sweetish, with some bitterness. Lemon, malt flavours. Light fruit on the palate too. Good.

Bottle. Slightly hazy pale golden color with white head. Aroma is grainy malts with a touch of straw at first, reminding me of a macro lager, but then there comes a lot of grassy, herbal, floral hops with some citrus character in there as well. Taste is refreshing, citrus, grassy hopspice, with a juicy malt base, a touch of honey, bread and a natural carbonation. Surprisingly chewy for such a beer. Refreshing, good, and moreish; among the best bottled Dortmunder/Helles I’ve had, but then again it is unfiltered, so maybe should count as a Zwickel.

Euro-Flasche: Pale golden to golden, a bit unclear, smaller persistent white head; robust - but soft - herbal-grassy nose, some traces of pale malt detectable; almost solid bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied and not so soft; lingering dryish herbal-grassy finish with even traces of piney hops, less impressive malty counterpart. Aromatic and spicy, but not perfectly balanced...

(bottle) Slightly hazy, greenish golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Grassy and slightly herbal hoppy aroma with subtle citric spots on a mildly pale malty background. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light bodied with an almost crisp carbonation. Soft malty sweetness upfront with hints of crackers, shades of cereals, accompanied by a good dash of grassy and slightly herbal hops; balanced bitter-sweet with grassy, herbal and subtle fruity hoppy flavours. Clean and easy-going hoppy Lager. 24.III.17

*Bottle from Bier Freunde, Leipzig. Nice floralness, fresh citrus and grapefruit, intense fresh hopped. The body is smooth with hints of sweetness, round fresh fruits (melon, madarina really there) with a smooth and slightly sweetish body. Nice.
