Mellow Gold is crystal clear, light amber in color. Basically it's the color of ripe hay. The head is fluffy, white, and lasting.
Mellow Gold's aroma starts off malty sweet with gentle aromas of soda cracker. Aroma of soda cracker is supported by a very faint hint of slightly toasted grain, present at levels that are barely notable. Definitely a background, supporting aroma. Malt builds slightly in the center, giving an overall rounded quality before fading into a finish that gives just a hint of peppery European hops.
Taking a sip shows me a lager that is smooth, rounded, and refreshing. Sweet malt flavors lead the charge before moving into a subtle hint of toasted grain. Toasted grain isn't present enough to make the beer taste at all grainy. Rather, it gives a subtle toasted flavor that gives the beer's flavor a little backbone and structure. Sweet flavors move through the toasted grain center, leading into a finish that is short, dry, and crisp in nature.
Mellow Gold is a very decent example of a Munich Helles. It's smooth, sweet, and malty in flavor with none of the esters you might find in other types of German lager. The flavors and aromas are delicate and very nicely balanced. Overall, I'd be willing to recommend giving it a try.

Decent carbonation and bubbly, golden colour with nice froth, crisp taste, malty with a slight fruity taste, not much of a lingering aftertaste. The name is a good overall representation of the beer, decent lager to crush or sip on for a newbie like myself.

Appearance - Pours a medium gold with two fingers of frothy white head.
Smell - grainy and sweet malts, earthy, floral, herbal, and grassy hops, and earthy yeast.
Taste - grainy and sweet malts upfront. The earthy, floral, and grassy hops come through next. The brew is finished off by the earthy yeast. A very malt forward brew with the hops being a pleasant partner.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth with the malts lingering.
Overall - A very sessionable helles that delivers on the style elements with the sweet malts taking precedence. I could see this being a refreshing summer tipple!
