A pint in a nonic at the brewpub.
Pours a clear bright yellow with a nice white head, nice lacing. Aroma of lemon, grass a hint of hops. Crisp, clean, nicely carbonated. Not bad.

Taste: Smooth and crisp, some hops and mellow malts, notes of corn tortilla. Mild corn grain and hop nose. Straw color, somewhat unfiltered, with a white head of delicate lace. Lite body. I would rate it higher if if liked the style. 17 IBUs

On tap into a pint glass

A - Clear golden in color with a moderately thin white head that dissipates moderately quickly. Moderate carbonation but nothing over the top. 4/5

S - White bread, light malt, grassy hops, and a butteriness. Maybe some biscuit as well. 3.75/5

T - Taste follows the nose very closely. Light caramel sweetness and maybe a little corn. Very little bitterness. Flavor does not linger at all. 3.75/5

M - Not crazily carbonated. Almost creamy. Smooth. Disappears rather quickly from the palate. 3.75/5

O - Good helles offering that is especially good following a 6 mile run. Not complicated, just straight and simple. 3.75/5

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Crystal clear yellow with decent carbonation and good foam.

Smell: Fresh lemon and more than a hint of pine. Very wintery for a light lager.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Tastes similar to the smell. Great combination of lemon and pine. Mouthfeel starts rather clean, but leaves a sticky residue in the finish.

Overall: A pretty good light lager. Hits the right flavors of a pilsner, but the slightly malty mouthfeel feels like a pale lager.
