Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a thin white head off foam. The aroma offers up soft clouds of beachwood like smokiness that's thinly ringed in bacon and then mild notes of the malty base. The taste delivers a pleasing level of smooth smokiness that has that thin rim of inviting pork. Like the nose the smoke gives a little ground to a thin sweet maltiness that only offers up the faintest of fruity esters. Solid easy drinking rauch-er. The only 'knock' for me would be it could use more smokiness. But that's me.

Pint can pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a nice near white head of foam. The aroma offers up nice spicy hops rolling into mild caramel like malts and a dash crystal malts. The taste delivers spicy hops up front ramming into a blend of caramel malts, crystal malts and a thin hit of slightly roasted malts. Another sip pulls up a sense of leather and wet tobacco that's working nicely. This is nice but seems too hop forward and a little too bright in its array of maltiness to be an Alt. Tastes good nonetheless.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a nice bright white head. The modest aroma offers up some fruity esters, spicy to lightly floral hops and a dash of citrus. The taste delivers same with pear to apple to fig like sweet fruity esters that slide into modest spicy to floral bitter hoppiness. It maintains the sweet esters and mild hop bitterness right into the finish. Decent enough albeit too sweet and estery for the style. But, this is better than most American brewed Kolsch (which isn't a high bar tbh).

16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright, brassy gold color. Large, frothy white head. Subtle citrus aroma. Flavor is tangy, bittersweet citrus. Notes of grapefruit and lemon pith. Resiny pine on backend. A bit minerally as well.

Can. Pours clear yellow, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is grain, grass, noble hop. Flavor is light plus sweet, merlin bitter. Light body. Helles is not my favorite style. Willing to accept that this is a good one.
