This crisp, clean & dry lager is the perfect craft lager. Made with German malts and hops, the body is light and biscuity with a slightly floral finish.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde gold with small white head. Light bready cracker malt with a bit of grass and some bitter herbal notes. The herbal notes bring it down a notch.

On tap at Slackwater, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is quite grainy, with subdued herbal notes, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a crisp, grainy, crackery character upfront, and a touch of herbaceous notes. Crisp and clean, but a little too herbal. Not bad.

Pale blond, hazy. Decent malt and hop, it's bready, crispy, lightly grassy, with moderate bitterness, and a sweet note. Pleasant.

Blond hazy colour. Sweetish aroma, paper (magazine). Sweetiah flavour, no malt flavour, some pear, very low bitterness; no crispness or hops to be a true Helles.
A bit disappointing.

Smells of very sweet sugary lager notes, some cream soda. Has great foam on a soft yellow body. Flavour is sweet grain and nothing else, full finish. Okay, boring, seems flawed.

Quite pale, slight haze. The aroma is a bit husky, low bitterness, sort of acetaldehyde but sweet and swampy.
