Blind-tasted except for the beer's name, style and brewery.
L- Pale, straw tellow, very slight haze, ongoing solid rising CO2 in my nucleated glass (more than average for this glass). Lumpy just off-white 2Cm creamy thick looking head. Holds well too.
S- Mild, just some grain.
T- Zingy bright right on the front (my 1st sip of beer today). The hops are a bit more contemporary and somewhat dryer than I'd expect in a mainstream lager. I get some bready malt though the malt has quite a low profile for a Helles.
F- Bright to almost crisp and refreshing.
O- I don't quite see the Helles character here, but instead a somewhat hops-forward clean well balanced lager. p.s the malt does raise it's profile a bit as I'm 1/2 way down the glass..
Review2015/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed! ==> Minimal info beyond the core/trad ingredients.
