Bottle and can. Clear deep golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, straw and white bread. Flavour of grass, herbs, biscuit and a light hoppy finish. Thin body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Very clean and crisp but with a maltier note than most. Nice label design.

Straw-coloured, clear, with a pleasant white head. Light maltiness, floral, citrus, and fruity notes in the aroma. Similar taste, medium body and carbonation, clear lager profile, barely perceptible bitterness, slightly herbal. Okay.

Festival pint (20 oz) draft at Ryries at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, Scotland. It pours a dark golden-amber color with a small khaki head and great retention. Virtually no aroma. Excellent retention. This is a very good Helles. It's smooth and clean and bready/doughy, and really easy drinking. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Not bitter at all. Slightly sweet. The more I drink of this Helles, the more I like it. It's really good.

From tap at The Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Sweetish malt with grainy notes, hint of fruit. On the sweet side for Helles, I prefer a more bitter Helles. Still, acceptable Lager.

Bottle from Chester Beer and Wine. Cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma is like a golden ale; light biscuit malts with citrus and floral hints. Taste starts a bit standard rich tea biscuit and spice but the medium body helps to elevate some of the hoppy elements and the finish has a lovely fruity berry like resin and good bitter bite. Mixed but something a bit different, I enjoyed it.

330ml can. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big yeasty, light hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, somewhat watery, crisp, malty, yeast, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
