Pours a minimally clouded amber-orange colored beer with huge, stable head atop.
Smells of dried hay with hints of overcooked peas and spicy wood bark among rustic toffee and a note of coumarin.
Mouthfeel on this is surprisingly soft and vivid with a prominent effervescence at the same time, showcasing a stony mineralic quality, which results in a highly drinkable yet complex beer.
Tastes of flowery and dry herbal hops with an equally well pronounced caramel maltiness, wrapped up by a rustic grain and bread dough quality, which adds a subtle complexity to the flavors in this. Establishes a well working, toffee backed spiciness then, with an antagonistic, mineralic carbonation and lingering, oak fragranced hops. Finishes heavier on the malts with some toasty sugar bread and balancing, utmost dry turning hops leading to a crisp and elegant finish.
This might be my favorite Helles so far. Turns out this is a very synergistic beverage, putting all the different angles represented in a beer into a single direction: joy.
