Well this is my second attempt at writing this review, shit just crashed all around me during the first attempt. Anyways, I was saying I had just recently added the beer to the database and I'm going to write a review for it too because I'm not a total sociopath who just adds beers to a database without reviewing them.
Pours a bright yellow golden color with chill haze, 2/3" white head and very good retention. The aroma hit those helles lager sulphur smells, breadiness, light traditional noble hop influence. This is really coming across as checking all those helles attribute boxes nicely so far.
Taste has a light, very light sweetness alongside the fresh breadiness that offers more in the taste than it does heft in the mouth feel. Ample grain feels. Noble still doing noble things. Crushability is very high. This really fit that "first beer after a day of skiing at Mt. Rose" mindset. Carbonation is where you want it. Damn everything is where I want it in a beer like this.
Story really checks out, I like lagers so much more the older I get. 25 years ago I prolly would have said I think this beer is boring. Wrong again liberal media.
