Poured 473ml can into a pilsner glass. A three finger fine white head on a slightly hazy yellow. Good head retention. lots of foamy lacing.

Malts and bread in the nose. Sweet malts up front. Some lemon. A bit of sourness maybe adds to the dry mildly hoppy finish.

A medium/light body and good carbonation. Overall a fine Helles. Not spectacular. Just good.

From notes

Appearance: A half finger of head with mild lace and no retention. Cloudy yellow body.

Smell: Biscuit malt and grass with good potency, but very basic.

Taste: Biscuit to pale ale mineral note with grass and earthy hops in perfect order.

Mouthfeel: The mild dry that keeps you drinking and wanting more. Mostly clean aftertaste save for mile pale ale mineral touch. Good carbonation.

Drinkability: Easy to drink, medium-light body that settles well. dry pale notes keep things interesting but becomes too much near the end.

Final Thoughts: I wrote LAGAH! In one of the margins, which pretty much sums this beer up. It's a serviceable, albeit perhaps not the most crushable lagers.
