Appenzeller Naturperle

From the Website:

Appenzeller NaturperleThe "Naturperle" is the first Swiss bio beer to be awarded the coveted Knospe label. The barley malt and hops come exclusively from controlled ecological, biological farms. Our spring water from the Alpstein mountains produces a beer of exceptional quality and purity. The work involved in brewing it and long aging in mountain cellars give this beer its special character.

Style: Munich Style Helles
ABV: 
4.8%
Good Helles

This is a good Munich Helles I tasted at my friend Will Kuehne's house in Basel (it was research you know).

Aroma:
Big pilsner malt aroma with undertones of floral hops. Not your normal Hallertaur, but I suspect German Perle hops by the name.
Appearance:
Gold and crystal clear. Moderate white head with carbonation dissipating moderately slow.
Flavor:
Pilsner malt with a slight bitterness that fades to a sweet caramel flavor.
Mouthfeel:
Medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Smooth with a slightly dry finish.
Overall:
A sweeter version of a Munich Helles made in Switzerland. Unique finish is almost honey-like.
