Barwa złota, klarowne, piana biała, średnio obfita, niezbyt trwała.

W aromacie słodowe, czysty profil.

W smaku słodowe, półpełne, znikoma kontra chmielowa.

Goryczka niska, wysycenie i ciało w normie, nieco monotonne.

Typowy, niespecjalnie ciekawy helles.

Super clear golden coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall pure white head that fades relatively quickly and just leaves a super thin pure white head on top. Aroma of crisp grain with a light dose of citrus and flowers along with some light sweetness and a touch of cleanser noticeable, but the crisp malts and lighter yeast notes are noticeable. Light-bodied; Very strong and super crisp grassy notes show through, along with some yeast, bread and light lemon flavours show through without much else, aside from a crisp and biting finish. Aftertaste shows the very malty, grainy and herbal notes with some yeast and breadiness and finishes with a dry and quite bitter metallic and citrusey set of flavours, but still, relatively mild and light throughout. Overall, a decent enough helles with some crisp lager yeast, dry flowers and a soft grainy profile throughout. Not a great beer, but not a horrible beer either - somewhere closer to the middle. I sampled this 50 cL can, from Day #15 of the Costco 2020 Advent Calendar, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-December-2020.

Pretty crisp, and nice overall. Good grain, easy drinking. Like the note of sharp bitterness. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Crisp bitter end. Very nice stuff. Can.

Half liter can, 12/15/20, #15 of the Costco Advent calendar. Hazy gold, thin fizzy off-white head, poor retention. Aroma of grain, earth. Taste is bready malt, caramel, apple. Thin. Meh. Maybe I got a bad can.
