Comparison

Augustiner Lagerbier Hell:
Appearance- Light in color I would give it a rating of 2-3, lightly gold color.
Aroma- a very light and slightly metallic aroma.
Flavor and mouthfeel- tastes like a light lager with a slight metallic feel (slightly salty and sweet).
Surroundings- downstairs in the hotel bar. There was some slight street noise as well as normal hotel noise. These noises can take away from my ability to fully smell and taste.
 Style and type- the style is a light lager. The type of beer is a lager.
Fermented- Bottom fermented.
Off flavors or aromas- none.
Ayinger Lager Hell:         
Appearance- Light in color probably a 3-4, slightly golden.
Aroma- A slight caramel smell with a little metallic also.
Flavor and mouthfeel- darker flavor and a little bitter, the mouthfeel is slightly coating with some alkaline tingles.  
Surroundings- downstairs in the hotel bar. There was some slight street noise as well as normal hotel noise. These noises can take away from my ability to fully smell and taste.
Style and type- the style is a light lager. The type of beer is a lager.
Fermented- Bottom fermented.
Off flavors or aromas- none.

These two beers are similar in that they are almost identical in color. They both give me a slight metallic taste and they are light lagers. The Ayinger has a slight caramel smell and taste while the Augustiner doesn’t. For my liking I would say that the Augustiner is a nice smooth beer to drink while the Ayinger has lots of flavors (caramel).
