3.3 500ml bottle at home, Munich. Aroma is light malt, nuts. Appearance is golden to copper with a fine white foam. Taste is medium bitter with a light sweetness. Full bodied and light dry with a soft carbonation. Very nice.

3.4 A decent unspectacular Helle from the Ettaler Kloster. It is a good Helle but it does not have too much of an own character.Not a bad choice but no hurray.

3.4 Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. 5.0%. Clear, pale gold. Bubbly, white head. Nose has dry grain. White pepper. Some custard toffee. Taste has toffee sweetness, turning very light, dry and bitter. Nicely foamy mouthfeel. Gets a little peppery on the finish. Decent.

2.9 Bottle 0,50L. Clear golden color with small, frothy, white head. Aroma of bread, biscuits, grain and malts. Taste starts light citric, turns to light sweet and became slightly vinous at the end. Solid helles.

3.1 Bottle at Freilichtmuseum Glentleiten. Clear yellow golden with a white creamy head. Aroma of grainy malt and some earthy notes. Sweetish, malty, grassy, grainy, mild hops bitterness. Light-bodied, quite drinkable. OK Helles.

2.5 I think this is on the old side, though it was chilled in the dark. Poured with a fizzy head that quickly vanished and an unappealing dark amber color. Aroma wasn’t too bad, but nothing special- malty beery. Flavor was similar to nose with some fruit, no sign of hops. Tad thin. Would have to be better fresh.

3.1 One pint 9 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden with white head. Aroma is grassy, citrus and light malt. Taste was vegetable and crisp.

3.0 500ml bottle [Thanks to bartlebier!]. Clear golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grassy and metallic, strawy aroma, a very cautious floral touch, mellow pale maltiness. Taste is minimally sweet pale malty, minimally floral and metallic hoppy overtones, a diluted strawy touch. Clean, mild, with subtle strengths (floral sweetness).

3.4 Bottle. Dark golden head with a giant head. Aroma is hay grains and well balanced. Taste is a well balanced, roasted grains just a nice beer.

3.2 Bottle. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma is bready and grassy. Taste is malty with light peppery hops.

3.1 Bottle: It has a musty vegetable aroma. Its appearance is a clear straw yellow with a small white head that quickly dissipated. It is light body with a thin mouth feel. Overall it is a very drinkable lager.

2.8 Bottle; pours clear gold with a white head; aroma is malt, herbs, and hint of citrus; taste is slightly sweet with malt and herbs; finish is bitter; okay helles

3.3 50cl bottle bb - - Honeyyellow pour, mid viscous. Slick maltsweet mouthfeel, soaked white bread and honeypops, a light roasted caramel touch sprinkled over fat, flowery pastures. - Note: Klosterbrauerei with excellent QC and customer service.

3.4 *Old rating, best before 29.06.06. Malzig-süßliches Bier, recht mild, weich, minimale Herbe im Nachgeschmack. Nett.

2.8 with yves at my home gold blond colored body with a white head and a herby hop aroma a herby bitter hop taste with a bitter finish

2.7 Shared with wim at wim’s place. Clear light blond colored beer with small white head and few carbonation. Herby hopped aroma. Medium sparkling palate. Finish is sweet herby.

3.1 Ins Glas ergießt sich ein goldgelbes Bier mit durchschnittlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch malzig, getreidig, leicht herb. Geschmack malzig würzig, getreidig, minimale Bitterkeit.

2.2 Poured from bottle. Thin head quickly settles. Sweet aroma. Very hoppy taste. Overwhelmingly bitter. Hope it isnt another spoiled beer. No freshness date on label.

3.9 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pt. 0.9oz bottle into a into a mug. The label has no freshness date or abv. Appearance: It has a bright, deep golden color with great clarity and nice active carbonation that helps support the head. Its head builds up tall, light and fluffy from an aggressive pour. This quickly settles to a thin covering that holds on well. Lacing is spotty and slick. Smell: The nose has a light pale maltiness with a touch of raw grain and a light bready sweetness. This is balanced by a nice crisp floral/spicy hop character. Taste/Palate: It starts with a good pale malt base that also brings some mild bready and caramel sweetness. This is backed up with firm floral/earthy/spicy character that balances the malt. The palate is medium bodied, crisp and well carbonated. Notes: This is a great all-around drinking beer. It’s nicely balanced and wonderfully drinkable.

3.3 September 2010. From bottle. Golden yellow with malty aromas. Hops, grain and malty flavors. Very refreshing.

3.4 bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear golden colour, white head, subtle hop aroma. Light- to medium-bodied, good malty flavours combined with delicate floral, grassy hops. What a fine and elegant beer.

3.2 Bottle looks good, also a nice cap. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts malty-dry, a bit metallically. Finish grasy-moldy, notes of butter cookies. Okay.

3.2 Bottle. Clear golden yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of bready/doughy pils malt, herbs and honey. Flavor is malty without being sweet, dough and yeast with some light hop bitterness. Light body with average carbonation and a clean finish. Great, clean, easy drinking Helles.

3.0 50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 10.09.2009 Aroma has grainy malt, butter, some grassy hops and distant herbal notes. Flavour has malt, butter, some corn, grassy hops and hints of herbs. A solid helles.

3.8 #207 Gelungene Optik im Glas mit mittlerer Kohlensäure. Der Antrunk ist erfrischend trotz der immerhin 5,2% Alk. Überhaupt kommt es eher mild daher, aber das kann im nächsten Moment auch umschlagen. Ein Wechselspiel aus mildem Malz und feinherber Hopfigkeit. Mild, ohne zu süß zu sein. Wohldosierte Hopfenbeigabe. Ein außergewöhnlich gutes bayerisches Hell, dass auf Understatement macht. Mit jedem Schluck kommen weitere Geschmacksnuancen hervor! Schließe mich Suffkopp mit seinem Fazit an, denn es trifft genau zu: "leichtes und doch so komplexes Bier" :-)) Das Motiv des Etiketts, die Ettaler Klosterbrauerei, ist ja ok, aber die silbergraue Farbe ähnelt an ein dt. Billigbier aus Gotha. Das ist aber auch der einzige Kritikpunkt. Test vom 18.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,12,12,12,10,12 - 11,90

3.2 Delicate and tasty. Pale with a soapy head. German hops in the nose, a bit of a light pils feel all the way around. Grassy, clean, some body. Pretty good.

2.6 Bottle. Pours a very clear dark golden color with a moderate white head. Nose is just a tad sweet with a typical lager smell. Feels creamy, which I found surprising. Tastes like a lager. Meh.
