Privatbrauerei Ettl Ettl Helles – Helles Lager at 4.8% ABV (C$4.83 at Costco Okotoks, 500 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Sep-2026, reviewed 6-Sep-2026)
Appearance: clear pale straw with one finger of fine white head diminishing gradually to a thick cap, moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: biscuity malt, grassy hay, faint citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, clean short finish. (3/5)
My twelfth from a Costco 12-pack of German festbiers. (I couldn’t resist, since I’m flying to Munich in a couple of days, and will be at Oktoberfest in a couple of weeks.) I mean, you don’t go looking for ”interesting” or “challenging” in a Helles, do you? It’s fine – clean and crisp. Drink it and move on. (13/20)
This will be my 6,508th unique Untappd check-in.
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
