500ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Pours a clear gold color with an off-white head and decent retention. Decent lacing. Light bread and malt aroma. The taste follows the nose, with pale malts and more bread. Smooth and clean. Nothing special, just a textbook blonde. Medium-heavy body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. Moreish.

Festival pint draft at the Royal Mile Tavern in Edinburgh, Scotland. It pours a clear gold color with a small off-white head and very good retention. Absolutely no aroma. Soft pale malt flavor. Clean and smooth with a very faint bready note in the finish. More of a pale lager profile versus a Helles in my opinion. Light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter.

Festival pint draft at the Royal Mile Tavern in Edinburgh, Scotland. Has a very dry apple aroma. And the taste matches the aroma. Very dry cider, which I'm not a fan of. Thin body, like all ciders. Low carbonation. No bitterness.

Pint can from Coop in Edinburgh, Scotland. Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a white head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Smells like a sweet creamsicle. Very sweet candy creamsicle flavor up front with a short tart finish. Not very sour, thankfully. Definitely no beer flavor here either. Medium-light body. Creamy texture. Medium carbonation. Zero bitterness. Better than I expected, but my expectations were pretty low.

Festival pint draft at Hebrides West End, Edinburgh, Scotland. Cask pour. It is a very nitro pour and now is a clear dark gold color with a small, creamy, tight white head and excellent retention. Virtually no aroma. Super creamy mouthfeel. Malty lager taste with some bread. This is a very well made golden ale. Really clean and easy drinking, but not the most flavorful. So it's lovely to drink, but not excellent taste. But not bad taste either. Medium body and low carbonation as suggested by the cask pour. Zero bitterness.

Festival pint draft at Hebrides West End, Edinburgh, Scotland. Pours a semi-clear strawberry color with a light pink head and excellent retention. Excellent lacing too. Strong orange peel aroma. Sweet orange and berry flavor cider with a slightly dry finish. As expected, clean and smooth. Maybe a little drier than I like, but good.

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.

Festival pint (20 oz) draft at Ryries at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a crystal clear light gold color with zero retention or lacing. Strangely, not much apple aroma. Sweet apple cider flavor and not much else. Smooth and clean. It's thin like most ciders. Lower carbonation than I expected. Zero bitterness. Very refreshing. Definitely not beer.
