On tap at Beercraft in Novato. It pours a clear pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grainy with light notes of lemony hops. The flavor is lightly grainy with hints of earthy noble hop bitterness. Light lemon. Nice notes of hay and fresh cracked grains. Super clean on the palate. Mostly a subtle, earthy hop character. A really nice Helles.

Bottle. California brewery #196. Pours hazy rich hazel, medium tan head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving decent lacing. Aroma is malty, roast, a bit nutty, dark breads and toffee. Flavor is medium sweet, very light bitter, quite malty and pleasant. I must be in a malty mood today, cause this hits the spot. Medium body, minimal acidity.

Sample at Tony’s Darts Away. Brownish-amber color with a thin light beige head that recedes quickly to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Roasted malt, hops and fruit in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roast malt, caramel and earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Above average overall.

On tap. Pours with a somewhat murky, deep bronze-brown body with a medium sized tan head. Aromas are sweet and toasty, some melanoidins, munich malt, raisins, maple, grainy, clean. Flavors are a bit too bitter for my taste (balance wise), melanoidins, toasted malt, earthy, and leathery. Toasted corn, bitter, grainy. Bitter balance, not too sweet, dry finish. Medium bodied with slightly bright carbonation.

On tap. Pours with a hazed golden orange hue with a just off-white head that lasts. Good retention. Fruity aromas, pineapple, esters, caramel, a bit dank, orange, overripe fruit. Flavors are a bit sweet, burnt flan, crystal malt, canned pineapple. Good bitterness, but too sticky sweet for my tastes. Some resin. Medium bubbles, lasting bitterness.
