Light in colour, a sort of clear golden yellow with a big & bubbly head, good retention & some lacing.

Quite clean with grain & a light grassy hops aroma to it. It was pleasant although a little weak.

Corn & grassy hops accounting for most of the flavour. It was sweet upfront with some citrus like taste that was followed by a light bitter finish.

A light beer that was quite crisp and refreshing, easy to drink with nice carbonation & well balanced.

This was an okay beer that scores about average on all counts, coming out a lot better than most pale lager type beers but it's not up to the same standard as other German helles out there.

3.83/5  rDev +7.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Poured from a bottle (bought and reviewed in Germany) into a flute glass.

I think that this is a Helles, but I'm not quite certain. The bottle's label says "Vollbier"

Look - pale straw color, clear, with a little bit of foam that dissipates quickly.

Smell - a little hoppy and a bit like a pilsener but with a crispness to it.

Taste - spiciness (but more herbal rather than hot). Also a bit of hoppiness, but very light or balanced. A little bit of a dull finish, but no aftertaste. Texture is pretty well-balanced but more toward the watery side.

Drinkability - Good brew with a good balance and fairly high complexity in the taste. Balance is pretty low and not too filling.

Serving type: bottle
