Clear gold, with moderate white head.

Typical lightly-sweet toasted grain, a bit of honey & floral aromas. Good , but a bit light . After the head fades , it's barely there.

Taste is similar to aroma , but of greater intensity . There is also a faint herbal flavor , that lingers after finish . Light bitterness.

Feel is where this falls short . It starts out OK, light-side-of-medium, with moderate fine carbonation tingle, but the carbonation gets sharper , til by finish, it's quite prickly at the back of the throat. Too much so, especially for this style.

Overall , nowhere near the best helles , or even as good as most of them, but good enough to be enjoyable. *shrug*
