Pour is more of a bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a nice bready malt. Flavor is an even more pronounced bready malt with a very minor hop kick. I heard they are going to discontinue this soon, so I'm glad I got to try it. Very nice helles.

Pretty darn tasty for a standard Helles lager, crisp and grainy with notes of cut grass, a touch of lemon and honey, and a mild floral bitterness on the back end. Not too shabby.

12 oz can from a 12 pack. Aroma is sweet malts, grassy. Pours hazy golden with a one+ finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a bready malt sweetness backed by light building to moderate herbal hop bitterness. Finishes dry. Crisp, clean, and refreshing.

12 oz can purchased at the Costco in South Bend, Indiana. The pour is a clear yellow golden with a one inch foamy white head that is built up by fine carbonation bubbles rising to the surface. The aroma is honey sweet malt, floral and soft clove yeast. The taste is cracker malt, the soft clean honey sweet, clove and floral in the back. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and a crisp cleansing dry finish with additional soft floral.

12oz can. Pretty nice lager. Balanced, clean, well brewed. Doesn't really lean into the German Malts that much so sort of lame to call it a Helles. Really clean and easy drinking.

This brew is a clear straw-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lace. Malt, grassy hops and fruit in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly bitter grassy hops, roast malt and fruit. The finish is clean and malty with a touch of hops in the aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

12 oz can from Costco. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small off-white head and decent retention. Light spotty lacing. Faint pale malts and light bread aroma. Crisp and clean light pale lager flavor. Slightly sweet. Light bitterness. Super easy drinking. Very repeatable. Pedestrian, but well made. Good beer at a good price. Light body. Medium-light carbonation.
