(swing-top-bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a big foamy white head with nice lace. Light sweet malty nose with honey and shy floral hops in the background. Light sweet flavour, light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Malty start with a light floral hoppy finish, slightly bitter and quite short. Still a decent Helles.

(bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a mid-sized foamy white head. Herbal hoppy and dense malty aroma with fruity (grapes) notes. Initial sweet and slightly toasted malty taste with fruity elements and a rather harsh, dry and hopbitter finish. Not very complex nor rounded, but quite tasty.

Fruity malty nose topped off with aroatic hops. Deep golden color, the occasional bubble, low lacing head. Solid sweet malt body, hayish in the middle, finished of woth a subtle portion bittering hops, honey aftertaste. Full and prickling mouthfeel. It is a quite decent Helles, but I had hoped they would have been a bit more imaginative and experimental on their birthday beer.
