Pale yellow pour, wheat could be evident from the cloudiness, but that ain't this style of beer, its just, eh, got problems. 1/3" white head. Tiny bubbles. The yellow was really faint, like a dilute urine test or light beer.
Aroma hit corny sweet notes. Something I get in AAL, not usually this style.
Taste didn't give me any reason to think it was a legit Munich Helles. Maybe slightly more toasted pale malt than most lagers. I dunno, maybe if you want to drink something that tastes like not much. Otherwise, below average in every way.
