From City Brew Tours. Canned March 23rd 2023.
It pours a clear light gold with a nice head of foam, good lacing, good head retention.
The smell is hoppy as in light grass, malty with notes of toast and a smidgen of sweetness.
The taste has a good grassy hop bite, toasted malt, hints of lemon, not very grainy as it's an all malt Lager. Kind of reminds me of Michelob only with more flavour.
Good mouthfeel, excellent Lager. I don't know aboot it representing the Helles style.

I thought it was a very crisp and clean lager, almost too much so - I tasted none of the specified characteristics for a Helles style lager.
But it was pale gold and transparent with a pleasing near white head that left regular lacing.
The aroma was so mild I could barely detect it, but I have a damaged sniffer so I can't really mark too bad for that.
The taste was nice, a very refreshing lager. Just not sure it should be classified as a helles.
Feel? Very nice. Easily sipped and gulped and I enjoyed doing so.
But don't take my word for it - try it yourself!

Interesting Helles beer, easy to drink and refreshing. 6/1/20 date printed on can. Pours a medium darker golden color with some fluffy white head and spotty lingering lacing. Aromas of clean malt, grain, corn, caramel, a little muddled faint fruity hops. Tastes similarly, decent balance, clean and easy to drink. Smooth mild slightly thin mouthfeel, carbonation slowly faded away as the beer warmed. Not too shabby.
