Pours bright gold with a thin and short-lived white head.
Aromas of hay, grass, cracker, white bread, and honey.
On the palate things begin to break down. There's white bread, biscuit, and cracker along with honey and some slight floral notes. A peppery hop bitterness builds from the middle of the sip through the finish and aftertaste. It isn't unpleasant by any means, but it all feels a bit muddled. It's lacking those clean, distinct flavors that I expect from a Helles. As it warmed, honey became much more prominent and the peppery hops faded to a better balance.
Medium-light bodied and significant active carb that prickles across the tongue. Finish is lacking that clean and crisp feel. Slightly dry finish but not enough to prompt you to get right into the next sip.
Overall, somewhat mediocre compared to offerings from New England lager breweries. It tastes good, but doesn't have the characteristics I want in a Helles to go along with the flavor.

Can from Market Basket
Mostly clear deep gold color with a decent sized frothy white head that persists. Bready crackery malt with earthy citrus hops to counter. Clean well made quaffable beer for an 85 degree day.
