On tap. Beer board labeled it as just "Lager", while the menu labeled it as the "Helles Lager". The manager confirmed that they are infact the same beer.
Pours with a clear, deep yellow body with a small and fading white head. Aromas are bready, sweet, grainy, malty and some minerals. Bitter with a touch of diacetyl (shouldn’t be there). Flavors are bitter, papery, bready, and malty with a hint of DMS. Lively and dry.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

On tap at the source. Pours with a clear orange body with a small, egg-shell colored head. Aromas are hoppy and a bit dank. Pine, subtle hops, esters, fruit and a slight hint of manure. Flavors are dry, medium bitter, somewhat subtle hop character. Citrus some fruit. Well attenuated. Could be a bit more assertive with late and dry hop additions. Still very drinkable, but their XHP has more hop character (although less bitterness).
