I just reviewed the brewery and the page stated that I had 0 beers from this brewery. The Helles, I say. Since my most recent was a Boston Lager a few days ago, I'll add this one. Definitely mild and drinkable, more pronounced hops than a macrobrew, yet enough to appeal to those who previously drank swill all those years and said, "hey, there's flavor in this bottle!" My hat's off to Jim Koch, who created Boston Lager, and when he got our attention, he offered many more pleasurable beer styles. Enjoy so many of his Noble Pils, porters and stouts and it began with a Boston Lager.

good looking and average tasting lager. pretty good but it looses points for that sharp aftertaste. I might try it again to see if its an acquired taste.

Big head when I poured it into my glass. Nice combination of bitter/sweet for the first mouthful. That soapy aftertaste M. mentioned is kind of present, but not anything terrible. Getting in the vicinity of hoppitude. This despite a 30 IBU rating. Maybe they’re actually putting soap in the mix. The finish is definitely soapy. I think I have two or three more of these in the fridge from my variety pack, and they ain’t that good. Yeesh. 2017/09/11

A decent drinkable lager. Refreshing taste. Not too much of anything. Clean crispy. I can’t find anything not to like. My sample from a 12 oz btl. Best from a ice cold fresh tap. I will buy again as a change of pace not super what I want beer.
