Medium low aroma - has a bright , bready grain smell with some bread crumb, faint fruit and earthy, spicy hop. It pours brilliant gold under a 1/2" white cap with fair retention. Medium malty flavor, clean and smooth, light malt sweetness with a medium dose of hop bitterness. Has a light body to medium light and medium plus carbonation. This is what you want on a hot day sitting in the shade at a picnic table.

Pours a mostly clear golden color. with a white head. Smell and taste was sweet with malts and light on the hops. Mouth feel was more creamy than crisp would have like some crisp floral hops in the finish. Overall twas very easy to drink, and still tasty.

 

Prototypical German Helles. Slightly sweeter and less hoppy than most German pilsners. Munich malts used here are bready with a note of honey. Slightly peppery hop notes. Nice light body and nicely carbonated. A nice beer but if I want to drink something light, I will grab a drier and hoppier pilsner.

Had on tap. Clear golden pour with a thin layer of white foam. Very clean and crisp, good honey malts and grains, but not much else, which is fine if you are looking for a simpler helles. Has a bit of booziness break through in the end that distracts though. Little watery in the body, but flavors are stereotypical
