Canned on 03/19/2026
Poured into a mug.
Appearance: golden copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace and left some light spotty lace here and there along the glass
Aroma: a very nice malty sweet blend of honey-ed biscuits, slight herbal scents; sweet earthy tones; sweet floral hop notes
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of sweet tones with a stealthy little bit of spice and herbal notes to balance; finishes with a speck of dryness but also a balancing note of malty sweetness
Texture: medium bodied; very sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting anywhere; no hop bitterness assertiveness whatsoever
Overall: what a Helles Bock! I would very much love to have this again.

Canned 3/19/24, drunk 4/12/24. Clear, brass-peach-copper. Large, dense, well-retained, off-white head. Easygoing, bread and biscuit nose with a bit of yeast and herbal hops. Spice, acid, malt, lovely malt depth and a bit of yellow fruit and freshly dried herbs. Excellent balance and drinkability. Foam has become an excellent lager brewery with barely drinkable IPAs. So weird.
