Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: dark amber to copper color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: smooth sweet caramel/toffee tone then slightly bready, light floral hop notes
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet bready and malty quality; finishes malty smooth and crisp
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; light drag from a slight earthy tone brushing the tongue but as far as I know that wasn't the hops and I wasn't exactly sure if it was from something I may have missed in the aroma
Overall: for the most part not a bad Helles lager - it's a nice easy drinker worthy of slamming by the can next time by my grill.
