16 oz can into a pint glass.
A: Clear golden color with a fluffy white head that stuck around for a while and left rings of sticky lace.
S: Grassy, spicy hops and faint bready malt.
T: Grassy, earthy hop character dominates up front, with a long tail of doughy malt sweetness to smooth it out.
F: Medium-light bodied, a little more carbonation would make this even better.
O: A terrific Helles, I will definitely be seeking this out again!

16oz can, undated, April 2021 release based on quick research, poured into a 16oz tumbler glass.
The beer pours a bright golden color, amber and copper hues, nice clarity with just a hint of haze, a few bubbles rising to the top of the glass where a foamy white head sits, soapy bubbles with spotted lacing. The aroma is nice, lightly floral, a bit grassy, earthy noble hop, biscuit malt offers some sweetness and breadiness and there is a lingering mineral water quality. The flavors are good, pale dough, lightly sweet with a nice floral aspect, grassy and green, earthy and crisp though not bitter from the hop with a mineral water finish. The mouthfeel is good, coating, lively medium body, light and delicate with a soft finish.
Verdict: A nice Helles from Hopewell. Crisp, bright, easy going that offers a nice contrast of flavors wrapped in a delicate and refreshing package.
