12oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Off-white head. Kind of fruity, young, not so well lagered..perhaps even an ale. Decent Munich malt tones, but overall kind of messy and inexpert. Pleasant rich malt finish.

12oz can. Definitely like the idea of a World Tour series...perhaps the first good idea I have heard out of K4 since that mediocre Pale Ale with the kitty picture blew up. Hmm...not really nailing the style. Doughy, bready in some respects. No real hop tone. Drinkable Pub Ale, but not a good Helles at all.
