    If I was being super critical, I'd say it's also to hazy for a helles. I do however really like the simple can artwork for some reason.

    Cross post from the Barleywine thread...listening to a childhood favorite tune on the 70's channel on Sirius...
    Enjoying my first 2025 Bigfoot. Seems less hop intense compared to the 2024 version.
    Cheers!

    I bought a single of St Bernardus abt 12 for 2€ here.

    On your second point and to double down on @CarolinaCardinals, a Westy XII was once suggested for 30€. Thanks but no thanks.

    Did happen to find some of this brew at the local big box store. It's only got two months on it, and I loved it last year, so I took a risk with two 4-packs of Bohemian Dawn by Jack's Abby.

    This pour isn't really hitting me right, but I do note some things that I think I might really dig on a different day. Today, the herbal hop notes are presenting as a little skunky. It's weird that I think that while also feeling it is not a pure characteristic of the beer. We'll see what the other seven cans have to say about it in the future.

    That's a bargain for the Abt 12. When it's on offer I can get it for for £2.70 a bottle so not that far off.

    I recently visited Amsterdam and every bottle shop I went to sold Westy 12. Picked up a couple of bottles in Haarlem for less than 7 euros a bottle. City center they were 11-15.

    Found it odd that every bottleshop we visited sold Westy 12 but not a single bar severed it. Not even Wildeman, which has over 400 beers stocked.

    Very true. Never thought of that. I'm just use to traditional helles I guess.

    So is that what makes the difference to the taste?
