Poured from an 11.2 fl. oz. bottle into a pint glass. Purchased at the Hofbraeuhaus Pittsburgh - six pack to go.

Appearance: Pours a standard pale lager yellow with a decent soft fluffy head. Good looking beer.

Smell: Grassy Euro hops. Slightly grainy.

Taste: Refreshingly bitter. Grassy, slightly floral, Euro hops. Lots of grain. Biscuity but not buttery.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied yet light at the same time. Good aftertaste. Very nice.

Overall: Not too much to say about this Helles, other than it is a good one!

Not a bad lager.

Draught into 12 oz pokal.

pale gold color, two inch fast reducing head

Smells of grain, cereal, and barley

Tastes: grain, lager yeast, citrus, and a mild grassy finish

Mouthfeel: thin

Overall, this isn't a bad beer. I doubt I would seek it out in the future, and I doubt that the Munich Helles Lager is a style I would pursue in the future either.

Serving type: on-tap

Poured a 330ml bottle into a Sam Adams glass. Poured a clear pale gold with almost no head and no lacing. Aroma is sweet with notes of bread and maybe green apple (there's a certain tart feeling to it). The taste is very malt forward, with the same flavors as the aroma and a nice hit of hop bitterness on the finish. There is slightest bit of carbonation and the mouthfeel is a little bit thin and both a really quite nice. A great German lager, simple and well made.
