Bottle. Milk, barley malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with giant off-white head. Sweet creamy barley malt and mildly bitter herbal hay flavor. Good body. Not bad - a decent Helles.

Bottle: Clear gold with a tall, just-off-white head. Sweet grain aroma. Taste is grain malt, not too sweet or bready....this is a very nice little lager.......light, but full-flavoured... Tasty.....solid.

12oz bottle. Filtered yellow-tan body. Thin, steady, white head. Really poor lagering, cheap ingredients. Really glad I didn’t get a sixpack of this. The aroma is rather approaching putrid. A little better than macro swill, but definitely on that same level.

Sample at the taproom. Clear pale golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, malt and fruit. Light body with flavors of herbal hops, toasted malt and mild fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a short grassy hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
