Color amarillo anaranjado, turbia y opaca, espuma blanca cremosa, de corona fina pero medianamente persistente. Aroma a hierba fresca, fruta tropical, madera verde y potorret del bó. En boca es tremendamente sedosa, fondo dulce y afrutado con notas de piña madura, mandarina, maracuyá y mango, final ligeramente amargo con destellos cítricos y un puntito de resina y pino. Muy rica!

Color amarillo dorado claro, limpia, espuma blanca cremosa y persistente. Aroma limpio y fresco a miga de pan blanco, malta y cereal, con un puntito floral. En boca es chispeante, refrescante, sabrosa, extremadamente bebible, notas de pan y cereal, fondo maltoso dulce, amargor suave, relativamente seca. Una Helles de puta madre

clear yellow, white head
aroma is crisp and dry like a lager but with a lot of pine needles hops.
flavor is malts, fruity malts, citrus fruity hops, apple, pine and pilsener hoppy ending. the fruitiness is a bit weird, the pine and pilsener hop bitterness does not match up very well, all in all i think the beer is a bit unbalanced and strange. i've had much cleaner (reg. hop profile) west coast lagers. it's more like a crisp dry lager that is then hopped like a british ipa. which is not THAT west coast that i was thinking about.
nevertheless, well done, crisp, dry, pleasing lager, just a bit weird with the hops, also the faint fruity notes i think could be from malts are weird. water treatment is super quenching mineral watery. a very special beer.
