Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'Trink & Spare', best before April 2018. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains and some straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy and minimally metallic finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'Trink & Spare' as 'Borbecker Helles', best before April 2018. Clear, pale golden with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, watery and a bit grassy taste of mainly grains, some cardboard and a touch of straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and a bit metallic finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Poor, even worse than expected.
