Grabbed a mixed 6-pack of North Park along with two others after making a trade at Pure Project. North Park’s website called it “Nothing works up a thirst quite like an intense campaign of defending the realm from an onslaught of giant spiders and rock goblins with your foam battle axe and buckler!

Poured a medium yellow-to-light gold clear color with four fingers of frothy off-white head. Lots of fast-moving bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Decent watery lacing. Below average retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Smelled grass, Honey Nut Cheerios, Noble hops, black pepper, Corn Pops, sourdough bread, pear and sweet apple. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted about as good as the nose. Very sweet and sugary. Got grass, Noble hops, black pepper, Honey Nut Cheerios, Corn Pops, sourdough bread, pear and apple. (Taste - 4.25)
Light body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt, sweet, but spicy finish. (Feel - 4.00)
This was excellent overall. Only nitpick is that it was a tad sweet. Other than that, this was lovely. (Overall - 4.25)

Clear yellow brew with a wisp of foam in the Troubadour tulip. Pleasant aroma of cereal with a hint of cider. Rather sweet and malty, but with a fruity edge of slight sharpness. There's definitely a light apple taste or white grapes. Maybe there's a hint of hops.
Overall I'd say this tastes more like a Blonde Ale, but it's quite drinkable. Could be a bit more carbonated. No bitterness to speak of, just that dry fruity aftertaste. Also more interesting than a lot of classics in the Helles style. From the 16 oz can purchased from Bine Y Vine. Not finding any date.
