Ε nyt pour at Notch - Brighton, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has soft herbaceous notes and crisp bready malt. Flavour is crisp and smooth, with herbaceous hops, bready malt, with a lightly bitter finish. Solid tepidly-hopped helles.

Can from the Packie
Pours a light gold color with a touch of haze and a decent sized bubbly white head that slowly recedes. Crisp bready crackery with earthy floral to counter. Seems lacking in body, but tasty.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal, floral, grassy hops with some subtle honey and clean cracker malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a malty sweet quality; finishes crisp and malty
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue
Overall: nicely done Helles lager worthy of coming back to.

Pint can from Jow. Thanks. Pours a crystal clear 14k gold color with a small white head that slowly dissipates. The aroma is light with herbs, sweet corn, and some mild citrus. The taste is light corn, grass, some cracker malts, bit of lemons and spicy noble hops. The palate was thin and crisp, but not watery, and the carbonation was lively. Finishes medium in duration and dry. Overall: Really good helles, goes down easy. Not one of my favorite lager styles but I definitely would drink this again.
