Pours a med lighter fizzy head with little fizzy lacing, mostly clear slight hazy orange pale color
nose is tropical and fruity, like a lager fermented way too warm, behind that light grainy straw and malt, lots of generic tropical fruit hops
Taste brings light grainy cereal malt up front, but very light, hard to even tell it's lagered as the big hops kick in, lots more tropical fruit, generic tropical, a touch dank as well, kicking into med bitterness, touch of spiciness as well, slight sticky finish
Mouth is med bod, med frothy carb
Overall I'm not feeling it, yes there are some tropical fruits but it's a bit overpowering to the point where there is really no Helles, which is a delicate style and should be malt forward, and even hard to tell that it's even lagered, not even close to a Helles for style, not bad for tropical pale ale if that's what it was supposed to be
