Our Munich Helles.Malty, bready, and sweet flavors come together with just enough hops to round out this beer. Pale golden in color, this lager is delicate and delicious.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very thin white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom - doesn’t look too good. Aroma of somewhat stale malt, a dose of hops, yeast, wheat and a ton of lemons. Light-bodied; Super mild malty taste coupled with some light coriander seed and lemony sweetness in the taste. Aftertaste shows basically nothing - hardly any tastes at all. Overall, very mild, almost non-existent when th taste is had. Definitely worth passing on this, but I was happy to try this beer regardless. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 01-March-2008.

Bottle. Pours an uninteresting gold color with a bit of a fizzy white head and aromas that promise a touch of spicy hops and some corn-like malt. Body and flavor are similar and totally uninspiring. Could be worse, but borders on macro-swill.

More with the BJCP training. Clear pale golden body with a small white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma with a honey background. Light grassy hoppiness. Sweet malty flavor with a bare hint of hops.

This lager poured a pale yellow with a white frothy head. Somewhat boring to the nose. A little vinager??? First taste wasn’t too bad but a little watery and lifeless.

12oz bottle. Clear golden color with bright white head. Aroma is malty, sweet and a bit if skunkiness. Refreshing pale/lager malt and crisp spicy hop flavors. Very nice lawnmower brew.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a slightly hazy yellow-golden color with a small sized white head that quickly fades and leaves a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy, sweet and yeasty. The flavor was moderately sweet and tangy with a bit yeast and vague fruitiness. Short finish. Medium body. Blah.

Rerate - somehow I thought it was unbalanced hops as a newb. Now: Clear golden color. Crisp with a light crackery malt and just a touch of grassy hops. Finish is lightly bitter. I’m upping the numbers only slightly though, as this could feature a more rounded malt and better hop aromatics. Good hint of zingy grains at the finish.
