Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow/almost copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal to floral to slightly earthy with some mineral water and super light clean malts; slight peppery/spice tones further under
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet hoppy to malty refined quality; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue - and nothing distracting at all
Overall: a very nicely done Helles lager very worthy of coming back to.

8 oz draft. Aroma is malty, baked bread, mineral. Flavor is great. Follows the aroma with a crisp texture and clean finish. Malt body is great for a lager. Super fresh hop! Really well constructed

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is earth and biscuit. Slick body, fruity malt, grass, dough, light dry finish, very good.

Brewery draught, 4/7/22. Very gentle amount of haze in this lemony-pale-gold beer. Huge, well-retained, creamy, white head. All the good stuff: honey, mineral, white grape, pepper, herbs. Soft and well-lagered. Malts are substantial but seemingly dry. No alcohol or flaw. Clean and bright. Oh yeah, rich and malty and nicely dry. Soft mineral and light white grape with soft honey. Creamy almost. Clean and bright. This is fucking incredible.
