The soft citrus of orange blossom gives this Helles lager a bright note and complements its sweet honey malt, leading to a smooth round finish.

The only real stinker in this case. A light lager, but it's got some buttered popcorn elements going on, otherwise has potential, with a crisp semi-dry malt profile and light but detectable noble hops and floral notes.

Pour is a clear dark gold with a large white head. Aroma is a decent enough lager malt with some grassy hop. Flavor is a little heavy and syrupy malt with a clean watery finish. The malt is a bit to heavy for the style. Nothing off about the beer it's just that for a style that is made for drinking many in a sitting, you would not want more than one of this.

Had "House Helles" at the brewery. Not sure if it's the same beer, but I'm thinking it might be. Slight haze, light gold, just a thin head. Pretty full pale malt nose, with a really fruity hop note. That same fruity hop is quite pronounced on the palate, to go along with sweet malts. It's a nice helles, very American and unique but still kind of within the German context.

12 oz bottle poured. A lighter clear golden pour with a lasting head and plenty of carb. Soft floral aroma, with some subtle malt. Flavor is a mild caramel malt, a light sweetness. Orange, floral. Clean and flavorful. Pleasant lager here.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a medium white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet cereal notes with light buttery notes is OK. Taste is a refreshing mix of sweet cereal notes with some subtle buttery notes and light floral undertones. Body si about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable but maybe a tad sweeter then I was expecting.

Pours a clear golden color with a medium thick white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of floral hops, malt and citrus. Light to medium body with flavors of mild hops, orange and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a floral hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

355ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that laces. Floral aroma with orange and pale malt. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, orange, honey and a hint of caramel with a crisp, dry, hoppy finish. Light to medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. A bit hoppy for the style but ok.

At a bodega: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is light orange and bread. Taste is lightly bready and grainy with a faint bit of orange. Not totally a helles but close enough.
