12 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Extremely clean lagering with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately grainy/bready, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a great Munich Helles! All around great robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Highly flavorful for the low ABV. Spot on style example all around. A really enjoyable offering.

On tap at Hopping Pig, San Diego. Dark orange with a white head. Hoppy with grapefruit, malt, some caramel and some hay. The body was medium as was the bitterness.

Some rust and a little citrus. Decent malt backbone. Decent for style like a Canadian tuxedo. Amber pour with decent head. Tap somewhere - old rating.

As nasty as I remember it. Thankfully, I only got a single.

Bottle Honey, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet honey, light biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw/grass flavor. Very light body. A bit hoppier than a macro but otherwise not much of an improvement.
