First try at this collab with Little Thistle Brewing. Nice floral hops. Smooth pale malts. Dry and yeasty off the end. Fairly dry. Enjoyable and leans a little more Italian Pils than a Helles. (Rating: 3.87)

L-Clean looking golden color with excellent clarity
S-Light oily hop aroma...soft maltiness
T-A lightly musty maltiness doesn't create the cleanest first impression and a prominent (too prominent) dry hoppiness is unexpected for this style....some definite bitterness on this more like a German Pils.
F-Light side of medium bodied....very dry on the finish...
O-I expected a more rounded maltiness with more depth than this exhibits from the double decoction....and it is also too hopped up for the style. With that said it's fine....just a little off the mark style wise.
