    True. It is the Augustinerkeller...and the beer is technically a Spezial. I admit I cheated :wink:

    I do think it's an under rated style, but havent had one that I thought was anything special.

    Weihenstephaner Original Premium all the way for the "best in the world" category. Southern Tier Where the Helles summer? is an excellent "domestic" version as well. :sunglasses:

    I finally tried the Victory Helles the other day/week and was extremely disappointed with it. Maybe it was super old, I didn't pay attention, but to me it tasted like what I would have expected from a Bud/Miller/Coors if they were to release a Helles style lager.

    If you are close to Berkley Heights, get to Trap Rock and try the Ghost Pony. It's a Helles, always good and always on.

    This thread inspired me to pick up a six of Weihenstephaner Original today. I can't tell you the last time I bought a German lager, and oh what a mistake that has been. So freaking good, especially after a mtn bike ride.
