Smells slightly like distressed yeast and like a standard lager but tastes VERY much like distressed yeast :(
I would say the body is pretty decent though.
Overall: like a budlight unfortunately - seems like it's a couple tweaks away from finding out what the intent of this beer should be.

Pour golden saw color. No head and no lacing, the beer was flat. I smelled acidic acid right off the bat, the beer was tart with lingering acid notes in the backround. I don't know if they do not clean thier lines or the beer was infected but it was definitely acidic and off. This place is a gold mine and it's purely because of location and not quality.

This is labeled as a Helles at the brewery, but that does not mater much.
A: Pours a bright and clear golden/yellow color. A two finger white head forms with good retention. Light lace is left behind.
S: Pretty neutral in the nose. Light grain, cereal and sweet malt. Not much else.
T: Plenty of flavor though. Big dry biscuit flavors. Toasted grain and a light sweetness follows. Very nice.
M/D: A light to medium body. Not watery at all. Dry, crisp, and clean. Very easy to drink. I can quaff several without a thought.
This is a very nice lager. I really enjoyed it, and something that is worth a try.

A: Beer pours pale straw. White head fades quickly.
S: light but distinct hint of sugary sweetness up front but not much else.
T: Palette opens with a nice light sweetness (agave / very mild honey). Mid-palette is watery and indistinct. Finishes hit a hint of bitterness and a lingering mild sweetness.
M: Mild carbonation with a nice smooth, slightly thick mouthfeel and clean finish.
D: Easy to drink but nothing special to pull you back for another.

Not impressed with this one. I think the hop schedule is off from style. They said they use Magnum hops which is an american hop. The flavor was a bit off, not the standard crispness I expected. Poured a bit cloudy with very little head. Would not buy this one again but fret not their other beers are better.
