Hella Grüngeist
Original Pattern Brewing Company

 

 

 

Has a yellow appearance typical of a Helles lager. Not much head. The smell is mainly floral with a hint of citrus. Some grain bill in the background. The taste is similar to the aroma with a little more emphasis on the grainy malts. I'm a little underwhelmed by the taste. I expected my floral character and the bitter bite is simply lacking. Finishes clean. Mouthfeel is smooth and goes down fine. An average beer that would be nice to use to wash down a hot dog or a pretzel at a baseball game. Not much to distinguish this from a macro lager. This one doesn't quite catch the Magic of a German Helles lager.
