Served on tap at the brewery in a 10-oz goblet.
Look: Pale yellow, with a 1/2” white head that reduced to a foam ring with adequate finely-bubbled lacing.
Nose: Very light roast, with a bit of lemon zest and a hint of floral.
Mouthfeel: Thin — appropriate to style — and adequate carbonation.
Attack: Actually follows the nose pretty closely, with a bit more emphasis on the roast.
Finish: A little hop bitterness to balance.
Overall: Very drinkable — refreshing, actually. Not quite as full or deep a flavor as some of my favorites of this style, but a very respectable offering — I’d order it again.

This beer meets BA's description to a Tee. Hazy light yellow color with a white head that didn't last long and left no lacing. Mellow aroma and taste. Minimal aftertaste, thin feel.

A - Clear, bright, light colored gold pour with dense bright white lacing and moderate carbonation.
S - Biscuity malt with some earthy citrus and a little bit of crackery grain malt. The aroma coming out of the glass is really nice.
T - Earthy citrus, some lemon, traces of cereal grain malt, and ends dry with a lingering earthy lemon citrus.
M - Light medium body with sprightly, prickly carbonation and finishes very dry.
O - This is a really enjoyable Helles lager and one of the better ones I've had.

Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with a thin cap; dots of lacing
Smell: Grainy and bready malt tones; a touch of grass
Taste: Bready tones forward, with the grain coming through; a light, grassy touch of hops, through the middle, and a bit of the lager twang to finish things off
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A well constructed Helles - enjoyable
Thanks, Manta200, for the opportunity
