Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma is bready and lightly spicy. Med body. Flavor is bready and lightly grassy. Lightly hopped. Somehow it comes across as somewhat juicy. Pretty good Helles. I think it has a little more flavor than most. Tho that still isn’t a lot of flavor. :) Addendum: Washes down brat and kraut very nicely.

Tap at the Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is pale stone fruit. Med + body. Flavor is pale stone fruit with malt that’s not very toasty. Also citrus and something a bit evergreen. Not all that dry, and hoppy and bitter. Really good stuff.

From a can to bottle. Overt citrus up front on the aroma. Slightly hazed orange-gold with full white head that sustains throughout. Taste is orange, but malt sweetness creeps in at a slightly high level and there is moderately high bitterness.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent/hazy dark gold with a foamy white head. Aroma suggest juicy citrus in a moderate way. Med body at least. Flavor is dankly juicy in a mostly citrus way, tho the dank may be hiding earthiness. It’s dry for a juicy ale, and it’s very hoppy and pleasingly bitter. Very nice.
