Twisted Helles
Frankenmuth Brewery

 

Clear, light gold with lots of fine carbonation randomly rocketing throughout. The four-inch, white head slowly transforms to rocky seafoam, leaving thick, fluffy lace on a Simpli pilsner glass. After adding the final ounce, a cloudy yeast haze falls. Prior to the yeast haze, this is a pretty beer.

The aroma opens with delicate, sweet grains and light floral notes of honeysuckle. Confectioner's sugar follows and there is no DMS. Warmth adds light coriander, lemon pith, and slight cracked pepper.

Mildly sweet upon entry, with the delicate flavor of angel food cake, the finish comes on quickly, adding distinct bitterness and coriander. The balance of malt and hops is nice, especially given the hint of yeast.

Medium to light body with a texture of coarse silk. Mineral qualities are well defined. Alcohol is as expected, and the carbonation is spritzy.

I very much enjoyed this beer and could easily consume several rounds with casual conversation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a good summer beer

Pours a lemon yellow with a nice white head. It has a sweet smell. It is a very nice helles lager. Very nice sipping beer on a hot day. It is a very enjoyable beer.

 

First time trying a Frankenmuth product..
Bought a six pack at Food Town of all places..
Overall I thought it was pretty tasty.
Sorry, it's midnight... that's all I got.

This is a very good beer for whats its intended for. this beer is an outdoors session beer and is very crisp and refreshing. The look is a lightly hazy yellow and reflects the summer season in its glory. I taste notes of orange peel wheat and malts. Very good lager. I would grab one while mowing the lawn or camping.

Waitress messed up my flight, I don't think this is the beer she said it was

 

 

Out of a can. Smooth taste, no off flavors, no annoying bite, doesn't feel too light or too drying, it's a pretty awesome beer really. Not sure what other people are looking for in a beer, this is a classic with no real issues.

I have a feeling most of the people giving this low ratings prefer more bitter hops. They think that little hops = no flavor. Though this is often the case, this beer still has a lot of flavor, and it is better than most beers of the same variety that rely on the bitter hops gimmick for appeal to the ignorant, foolish masses who consume them.
