The Helles style was first brewed in Munich in 1895 and is now the most popular beer style in all of Germany. Like the classic German Helles style, Leinenkugel’s® Helles Yeah™ is an easy-drinking, everyday beer but ours is brewed with American hops for a bolder taste, brighter aroma and snappy clean finish.

Clear golden color, medium head, decent lacing that does not last. Champagne like aroma which is a little weird for beer. Tastes same way, a little weird and undecided. Little sour, little sweet, mildly bitter hop. None of the flavors are bold enough as if it can’t decide if it wants to be a lager or APA... Drinkable but seems to be mediocre... Pass it...

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 9/14/2015. Pours fairly crystal clear golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly sticky, and lightly creamy/grainy mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a good Munich Helles style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. It was more like a German Pilsner with the bitterness and dryness overall, though. A nicely enjoyable offering.
