Pours a light gold, straw coloration with a medium, foamy head. Smells of bready malt and grains, with just a hint of citrus. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by light and slightly sweet bready malt and grains, with very light hoppy undertones of grass and citrus. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness. Medium body and carbonation.

Considering that this is supposedly dry-hopped, there is surprisingly little real hoppiness to it. Sure, this is a Helles, not an IPA, but then why bother? My guess is that they used miniscule amounts just to be able to say it's dry-hopped and charge a ridiculous price for it. This basically costs about 4 times as much as a normal Helles and is no better. Yeah, it is a tiny bit more hoppy and bitter than your average Helles, but do you even want that in this style? Totally pointless if you ask me.
