Can, thx for sharing! Hazy golden-yellow body, white head. Malty, minerally, lightly fruity, herbal aroma, some dried fruit from the oxidation. Citric, dusty taste, rock candy, tangerine mostly, no bitterness really - definitely could use it. I see why it's under helles though it's honestly firmly in IPL territory. Need to retry this fresh! And I hope I will soon. +0.1 more than it was, though it's well within expiry date. I can see this getting +0.5 more if fresh I guess, hope it does.

Can. Cloudy yellow. Melon, peach. Sparkly creamy, hoppy. Was told this is good beer; though I think it could use more edge.

21 August 2021. At Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin, Jerre & the Ghent beer crew! Clear yellow, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of grain, bread dough, apple, plum, pear. Taste has sweetish apple, pear, some banana in a grain-malty body, bit yeasty. Grassy hoppy finish, grainy, yellow fruit, citrus. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Next-level Lager, enjoyable.

Blechbüchse (Danke, Jonas!): Hazy, pale golden with a greenish sheen, medium-sized loose and lacy white head, distinctive bitter-sweet fruity aroma of exotic fruits (pineapple, also some citrussy traces); solid - not overly dry - bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, quite soft; lingering bitter-fruity finish with a good dash of balancing pale melt. A bit overrated, surely very decent and much better than Spaten Hell..

Can from the brewery Webshop. Touch of haze , nice fine head on a yellow gold beer. The nose is nicely flowery, yet still has that spicy lager note that says to me yeah Helles! The flavor is just excellent. Clean, hint of sweetness, very moderate smooth bitterness, notes of lemon, mirabelles, spring flowers, pomelo. Best use of Callista I've tried. It may be, no - it is the best new-age hopped lager that I've had to date. 👍👍

A can courtesy of Jonas, cheers Mate!. Having this Thursday 11th February 2021 on my fifth Beer School with Natalya Watson, it's also Pizza Night and we'll also be listening to some music, not sure what yet though. Solid beer, clear pale gold with a white head, soft mouthfeel, nice hoppiness, aroma shows but also quite subtle, bitterness is well structured, some dryness, actually getting a perfume edge at the end now, good!

Can. Pale golden with a green tint, white foam, fine pearling carbonation. Flowery, grassy and melonrind hop aromatics. Medium body, hayish malt, lightly chalky (but it is a young can). Lovely broad hop backbone - fullflavored without being agressive, quite moreish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Transfusion (2021-) on 23 May 2021 at 21:00
