Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a one and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: biscuity malts with a super light grassy to floral hoppy tone underneath
Flavor: mixes the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet malty quality; finishes malty
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: nice little sessionable lager, no frills but I don't see any flaws, would be a nice one next to the grill or take fishing.

On tap at the brewery Maldon Boston . Hazy gold colour lasting white head . OK Helles. Some bread on aroma. Yeast is good some light lemon. Not much malt. Just enough. Some bitterness on the finish. Pretty good Helles. Bit over carbonated harsh. Decent. I liked the bready yeast lemon

Bottle purchased at Redstone Andover location. Yellow in color with a slight haze. Very thin lasting head. Aroma pilsner malt, grassy hops and skunky yeast.

Flavor is pretty much what you should expect in the style. Pilsner malt and honey with a bit of grassy hops. A touch of sweetness before finishing dry with the same skunky yeast I find in many examples of the style. Moderate carbonation with a lighter body.

Bottle from Redstone. Pours a lightly hazy light golden color with a decent sized but quickly dissipating white head. Big sweet bready pilsner maltiness on the nose with just a hint of skunk when first opened. Light floral hop barely balances the sweetness. Simple, tasty easy drinking lager I really enjoyed this!
