(Thanks, Jim! ozzy70) Bottle. A- Straw, bread, grains. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Malty, bread dough, straw. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- The kind of beer I would've drank when I didn't like beer. Honestly, not something I'm going to be seen drinking frequently. That said, I honestly liked it pretty well. This would be a good non-pretentious bbq with non craft beer friends. Kind of beer I wouldn't mind sharing and drinking on a summer evening.

12 oz bottle from HyVee, Ankeny. Fizzy head over a golden light lager body. Smell is kind of strong with corn adjunct, though. Taste does have some tangy bitterness from German hops that matches the Helles style. Still has a fusel taste of corn, or maybe oxidation. Decent summer beer, though. I know it's a hard style to do right on a small scale.

12oz bottle. Gross buttery off aroma. Steam beer aromas, way off and bad. It really gets to me when someone who makes a publicly sold beer and doesn’t even have basic comprehension of the styles they think they are paying tribute to. Low appearance score for the lack of filtration. Embarrassingly weak and amateur.
