Impression: It took me a couple visits but I finally got around to trying their “other” beer, in this case the Dunkles is more popular than the Helles. So, I wasn’t really expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised to find a dryish quaffer with a nice bitter finish. I had it again when doing a long distance hike and it was refreshing and must say, on a hot day it’s likely to be my choice next time too.
